Question 16
Algebraic ExpressionsSimplify (2x − 1)/3 − (x + 3)/2
- A.(x + 7)/6
- B.(x + 8)/6
- C.(x − 11)/6
- D.(x − 4)/6
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C ((x − 11)/6)
Explanation
Over 6: 2(2x − 1) − 3(x + 3) = 4x − 2 − 3x − 9 = x − 11.
Simplify (2x − 1)/3 − (x + 3)/2
Answer: C ((x − 11)/6)
Over 6: 2(2x − 1) − 3(x + 3) = 4x − 2 − 3x − 9 = x − 11.
