Simplify the following problem, explaining each step. 13 - 4(x - 5)
Example: 4x - 3 + 2x - 6
Step Explanation
1. 6x - 3 Add 4x and 2x BECAUSE they are like terms (same variable)
a) What are the important key words or information needed from this problem?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the term to be solved by explaining each step:

First of all, the bracket will be solved as per the BODMAS rule.

The bracket term is:

Now, 4 will be multiplied with and -5.

i.e.

Now, let us put the value back in the original expression.

Now, let us remove the bracket, negative sign will be multiplied with both i.e. and -20

negative multiplied with negative makes positive term)

Now, 13 and 20 are like terms, they will be added.

the expression is equivalent to :

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!
