Question

Which expression is equivalent to 4.8 – 2.2w + 1.4w – 2.4 ?

Answer 1

B) 0.4 (6 - 2w)

Explanation:

You can only add or subtract with the numbers that have the same variable:

You can only add -2.2w and 1.4w

Which is -0.8w

Then add 4.8 and -2.4

Which is 2.4

Now the equation is -0.8w+2.4 or 2.4-0.8w

0.4 times 6 is 2.4

0.4 times 2w is -0.8w

Which is the same

-0.8w+2.4 or 2.4-0.8w

Hope this helps!
