Which expression is equivalent to -3(4x - 0.50)? A. -12x - 1.50
B. -12x + 1.50
C. -12x - 2.50
D. -12x - 3.50

It's the B

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply - 3 by 4x = - 12x

Multiply - 3 by - 0.5 = 1.5

Hope this helps, have a good day

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.

part a: 1.08

part b: 27.59
