Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. 7.4z−5(−1.6z+2.4)

7.4z−5(−1.6z+2.4)7, point, 4, z, minus, 5, left parenthesis, minus, 1, point, 6, z, plus, 2, point, 4, right parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember:

Then, given the following expression:

You need to  apply the Distributive property. Then:

Now you can combine like terms (or add the like terms). Then you get:

Therefore, the equivalent expression created by combining like terms, is:

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
