Select ALL equivalent expressions to: (7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥) (2 points) Responses (7x −− 2) −− (0.24x −− 3) (7x negative 2) negative (0.24x negative 3) 7.16x −−5 7.16x negative 5 6.76x ++ 1 6.76x plus 1 5.76x 5.76x 7.76x
The correct equivalent expressions are:
(7x − 2) − (0.04x − 3 + 0.2x) = (7x − 2) − (0.24x − 3) = 7x − 2 − 0.24x + 3 = 7x − 0.24x + 1 = 6.76x + 1
