What is (1.6x + 7.3) + (–0.6x + 2) – (7.8 – 3.4x), simplified?

(1.6x + 7.3) + (–0.6x + 2) – (7.8 – 3.4x)

1.6x + 7.3 – 0.6x + 2 – 7.8 + 3.4x

1.6x – 0.6x + 3.4x + 7.3 + 2 – 7.8

Respuesta :

(1.6x + 7.3) + (–0.6x + 2) – (7.8 – 3.4x)
1.6x + 7.3 – 0.6x + 2 – 7.8 + 3.4x
1.6x – 0.6x + 3.4x + 7.3 + 2 – 7.8
4.4x + 1.5
thats all  I guess

Answer:

[tex]4.4x + 1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex](1.6x + 7.3) + (-0.6x + 2) - (7.8 -3.4x)[/tex]

To simplify this we use order of operation PEMDAS

WE start with removing the parenthesis and then we combine like terms

Multiply negative sign inside the third parenthesis

[tex]1.6x + 7.3-0.6x + 2-7.8 +3.4x[/tex]

Now we combine like terms

[tex]1.6x-0.6x+3.4x=4.4x[/tex]

[tex]7.3+ 2-7.8=1.5[/tex]

so simplified expression is [tex]4.4x + 1.5[/tex]
