In order to combine like terms, they have to first be organized. First combine the terms with the variable x, then the terms with no variables.
3x+13.5+5.2x-6
3x+5.2x=8.2x
13.5-6=7.5
The final simplified expression is 8.2x+7.5.
3x+13.5+5.2x-6
3x+5.2x=8.2x
13.5-6=7.5
The final simplified expression is 8.2x+7.5.
The simplified expression is [tex]\rm 8.2x+7.5[/tex].
Given that,
Expression; [tex]\rm 3(x + 4.5) + 2(2.6x - 3)[/tex]
We have to simplify the expression.
According to the question,
To simplify the expression following all the steps given below.
Expression; 3(x + 4.5) + 2(2.6x – 3)
- Step1; Distribute the 3 and 4 through the parentheses,
[tex]\rm = 3(x + 4.5) + 2(2.6x - 3)\\\\ = 3(x)+3(4.5) + 2(2.6x)-2(3)[/tex]
- Step2; Solve and find the product of each equation,
[tex]\rm = 3(x)+3(4.5) + 2(2.6x)-2(3)\\\\=3x+13.5+5.2x-6[/tex]
- Step3; Combine like terms:
[tex]\rm = 3x+13.5+5.2x-6 \\\\= 3x+5.2x - 6+13.5\\\\=8.2x+7.5[/tex]
Hence, The required simplified expression is [tex]\rm 8.2x+7.5[/tex].
