Question

Add the two expressions. 3.2x−6 and −5.6x+4 Enter your answer, in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: The simplified form is

$-2(1.2x+1)$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

$3.2x-6\ and\ -5.6x+4$

We need to add the two expression :

$3.2x-6-5.6x+4$

Now, by grouping the like terms :

$3.2x-5.6x-6+4$

Now, we add the like terms to each other:

$-2.4x-2$

To simplify we can take 2 as common factor and a negative sign too :

$-2(1.2x+1)$

Hence, the simplified form is

$-2(1.2x+1)$
