Ascientist estimated that a mixture would need 5 milliliters of a chemical to balance. the actual amount needed was 7 milliliters. what was the percent error of the scientist's estimation? a. 71.43% b. 28.57% c. 3% d. 40.00%

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
