Question

The simplified form of the expression (5.23x + 3.76) − (3.67x − 6.39) is _____

Answer 1

Consider the given expression is

`(5.23x + 3.76) - (3.67x - 6.39)`

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

Using distributive property we get

`5.23x + 3.76 - (3.67x) - (-6.39)`

`5.23x + 3.76 - 3.67x + 6.39`

On combining like terms we get

`(5.23x - 3.67x) + (3.76 + 6.39)`

`1.56x+10.15`

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is
`\bold{1.56x+10.15}`.
