Answer: 2.7x (27 + 4x) - 45y + 2 = 501.5
Explanation:
Start with 2.7x (27 + 4x)
so 2.7(5) = 13.5
and then you change the number that multiplies with the others:
13.5 (27 + 4x)
Then multiply them:
364.5 + 54x
And then add them with the rest of your equation:
364.5 + 54x - 45y + 2
Now multiply the numbers that have the variables:
364.5 + 54x - 45y + 2
54(5) = 270 and -45(3) = -135
then add them to the equation again:
364.5 + 270 -135 + 2
And then add them or subtract them altogether (I added 364.5 and 270 first and I got: 634.5. And then I subtracted/added -135 + 2 second and I got: -133.
then do 634.5 - 133 and you should get 501.5.
