Subtraction of Expressions
- To subtract the expressions (-x-2) - (4x+3), combine like terms to get -5x - 5.
Evaluating Expressions
- For the expression -4(9+6), the value calculated is -60.
- Note: A second occurrence of this expression incorrectly states its value as 7, which is incorrect.
Substituting Values in Expressions
- Evaluating 6d-2c when d=3 and c=4 results in a total of 10.
Properties of Multiplication
- The equation (3 x) 8 = 3 (x 8) illustrates the associative property of multiplication.
Factoring
- The area of a rectangular pool given by the expression (15x-9) can be factored to dimensions of 3 units by (5x-3) units.
Cost Sharing
- For a pizza costing $14, with an additional cost for drinks represented by the expression $2x + $14, the cost of food for one person can be expressed as (x + 7) dollars.
