Which expression shows the first step in simplifying 2x – 3(x + 2y) – 5(y – 7x)? 2x – 8(x + 2y) + (y – 7x) 2x – 3 – 5(3y – 6x) 2x – 3x – 6y – 5y + 35x 2x + 3x + 6y + 5y – 35x

2x - 3x -6y - 5y +35x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 multiplied by x is -3x

-3 multiplied by +2y is -6y

-5 multiplied by y is -5y

-5 multiplied by -7x is +35x

2x remains the same.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265
