Simplify the Expression (show work)

1. 2(5x + x)

2. -7+ 3x + 9x

1. 12x

2. 12x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the 2 to both terms to get 10x+2x then add those together to get 12x    OR    add 5x to x to get 6x then distribute the (multiply by) 2 to get 12x

2. combine 3x and 9x to get 12x then write -7 to get 12x-7

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
