Question

b. Choose the variable xx. What ending expression did you get?

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 3

b.

Let the number be xx, then after multiplying by 5 the expression becomes:

5x5x

After adding 2, it becomes

5x+25x+2

After multiplying by 3, it becomes:

3(5x+2)3(5x+2)

After subtracting 8, it becomes:

3(5x+2)83(5x+2)-8

Simplify this expression, therefore:

=15x+68=15x+6-8

=15x2=15x-2

The expression simplifies to 15x215x-2. This is the ending expression.
