Write the expression in simplest form. 8.95x+7.5-2.4x-6.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To simplify the expression 8.95x + 7.5 – 2.4x – 6.3<\/strong>, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Group like terms<\/strong>: Combine the terms that contain the variable x<\/strong> and the constant terms separately.\n
      \n
    • The terms with x<\/strong> are 8.95x<\/strong> and -2.4x<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The constant terms are 7.5<\/strong> and -6.3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Combine the variable terms<\/strong>:
      Add or subtract the coefficients of x<\/strong>: 8.95x\u22122.4x=(8.95\u22122.4)x=6.55×8.95x – 2.4x = (8.95 – 2.4)x = 6.55x<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Combine the constant terms<\/strong>:
      Add or subtract the constants: 7.5\u22126.3=1.27.5 – 6.3 = 1.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Write the simplified expression<\/strong>:
      After combining like terms, the simplified expression is: 6.55x+1.26.55x + 1.2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      This expression is in its simplest form because we have combined the terms in the most efficient way, leaving us with just one term for the variable x<\/strong> and one constant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this process, the main steps were to focus on grouping like terms: terms that have the same variable and terms that are constants. After combining the like terms, you end up with a much simpler expression. The key to simplifying algebraic expressions is always to look for and combine like terms first, which makes solving or graphing the expression easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
