Which of the following expressions are equivalent to −3.5(2 − 3n) − 2.5n? a. −7 − 8n b. −7 + 8n c. −7 − 13n d. −7 − n(10.5 − 2.5) e. −7 + n(10.5 − 2.5)

Hello.

B and E are the correct answers.

Hope it helps you :)

Hi there! The answers are B and E.

To find our answer we first need to work out the parenthesis.



Now we can collect terms.


Hence, B is correct and A and C are false.

To determine whether D or/and E is/are correct we need to work out the parentheses as well. When we do that we can see D ending up with a negative value of n and E with a positive value of n. Taking into account our previous results, E is correct and D is false.

Hence, B and E are correct.

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
