PLEASE HELP ME!! I am struggling to answer this question.

B. 1.2x - 2.4 + 1.2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an algebraic expression and are asked which is the equivalent answer when the expression is simplified.

To solve, we need to take notice that some distribution must happen, which is  when you multiply a number outside of a parenthesis to the numbers inside the parenthesis. Follow this rule for 0.3(4x - 8) and -0.5(-2.4x + 4)

0.3(4x - 8)

(0.3(4x) - 0.3(8))

1.2x - 2.4

-0.5(-2.4x + 4)

(-0.5(-2.4x) + -0.5(4))

1.2x - 2

Now put these two equations into one strand to get your answer.

1.2x - 2.4 + 1.2x - 2

D.   2.4x-4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3(4x-8)-0.5(-2x+4)

1.2x-2.4-0.5(-2.4x+4)

1.2x-2.4+1.2x-2

=2.4x-4.4

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
