Subtract (8x + 6) − (x + 4).
I WILL BE MARKING BRAINLIST!

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright. First, we have to remember that anything, even a minus sign, directly outside of a term in parentheses means that the term is being multiplied by that number or sign outside of it. A minus sign simply means -1.

I'm going to show you one method. There might be another one, but this method will be useful later in algebra.

So, we've established that a minus sign is actually -1. Now, let's rewrite the equation.

We'll simplify this now by removing the parentheses and distributing that -1.

Rearrange.

Combine like terms.

So,   equals .

5 x 14?

im new, sorry if this is wrong.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
