Last week, Tasha bought 17 pounds of fruit
at the grocery store. She bought apples,
oranges, and bananas. If 8 pounds were
apples and 3 pounds were bananas, how
many pounds of oranges did Tasha buy?

6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

8+3= 11 subtract 17 by 11 gives you 6 so 6 pounds Oranges

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
