Question

When 0.3(4x – 8) – 0.5(–2.4x + 4) is simplified, what is the resulting expression?
Negative 4.4
1.2 x minus 2.4 + 1.2 x minus 2
2.4 x minus 0.4
2.4 x minus 4.4

Answer 1

Answer: 2.4x−4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3(4x – 8) – 0.5(–2.4x + 4)

1.2x−2.4−0.5(−2.4x+4)

1.2x−2.4−(−1.2x+2)

1.2x−2.4+1.2x−2

(1.2x+1.2x)+(−2.4−2)

2.4x−4.4

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
