I genuinely need help, not quite getting this. Help please! -1/3 (12 + 18)

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's break this down.

We've got the expression . We have to use the distributive property on this because we must multiply all terms inside the parentheses (12 and 18) by .

If we are multiplying by a fraction it's the same as dividing by the denominator.

So to simplify this we need to do

12 divided by -3 is -4

18 divided by -3 is -6

So we now have . This equals -10.

Hope this helped!

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
