Question

simplify -4 (7b + 3) + 24b - 8

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the expression, we follow the order of operations and distribute the -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-4(7b + 3) + 24b - 8 = -28b - 12 + 24b - 8

Next, we combine like terms:

-28b + 24b - 12 - 8 = -4b - 20

Thus, the simplified expression is -4b - 20.

Answer 2

simplify 2 (3w + 9) - 14 - 6 (-5w - 4)

Answer 3

To simplify the given expression, we follow the order of operations and distribute the coefficients:

2(3w + 9) - 14 - 6(-5w - 4)

= 6w + 18 - 14 + 30w + 24

Next, we combine like terms:

= 6w + 30w + 18 + 24 - 14

= 36w + 28

Therefore, the simplified expression is 36w + 28.

Answer 4

-15 + 4/5 (15e - 10) - 10e

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the given expression, we follow the order of operations and distribute the coefficient:

-15 + 4/5 (15e - 10) - 10e

= -15 + (4/5) * 15e - (4/5) * 10 - 10e

Next, we simplify the terms:

= -15 + (12e - 8) - 10e

= -15 + 12e - 8 - 10e

Next, we combine like terms:

= (12e - 10e) + (-15 - 8)

= 2e - 23

Therefore, the simplified expression is 2e - 23.

Answer 6

factor 48y + 36z using the gcf

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To factor 48y + 36z using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to find the largest factor that is common to both terms. In this case, the GCF is 12.

Now we divide both terms by 12:

48y/12 = 4y
36z/12 = 3z

Therefore, we can rewrite 48y + 36z as:

12(4y + 3z)

Hence, the factored form of 48y + 36z using the GCF is 12(4y + 3z).
