Wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's simplify the expression correctly:
First, distribute the 4/5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-15 + (4/5) * 15e - (4/5) * 10 - 10e
Next, simplify each term:
-15 + (12e - 8) - 10e
Combine like terms:
-15 + 12e - 8 - 10e
Combine the -8 and -15:
-23 + 2e - 10e
Combine the 2e and -10e:
-23 - 8e
Therefore, the simplified expression is -23 - 8e.
Factor 48y + 36z using the GCF. (1 point)
To simplify the expression -4(7b + 3) + 24b - 8, you can follow the order of operations known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses by distributing -4 to each term inside:
-4(7b + 3) becomes -28b - 12.
Now let's apply the same process for the expression -8(1), which will give us -8.
Next, we can combine like terms. In this case, the only like terms are the terms with the variable b. The expression can now be rewritten as:
-28b - 12 + 24b - 8.
Now we can combine the like terms -28b and 24b:
-28b + 24b equals -4b.
The expression simplifies further to:
-4b - 12 - 8.
Now we can combine the integers -12 and -8 by adding them:
-12 - 8 equals -20.
Thus, the final simplified expression is:
-4b - 20.
