Question

-4.5[2x-(0.5-1.4)] simplify please helpp

Answer 1

We need to follow PEMDAS.

Parentheses is first.

0.5 - 1.4 = -0.9

Now, we need to re-write our expression.

-4.5 [ 2x - 0.9]

Apply the distributive property.

-4.5*2x - (-4.5 *0.9)
-9x - (-4.5)

-9x + 4.05

Final answer:    -9x + 4.05
