Which expression is equivalent to 3(m − 3) + 4?

3m + 1
3m − 5
3m + 13
3m − 3

3m - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(m - 3) + 4           Distribute the 3

3m - 9 + 4             Simplify

3m - 5

So let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.

The first thing we want to do is change the minus to plus a negative. Now we can distribute or multiply this 3 times each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.

So we get 3 (m) + 3 (-3) + 4 and this simplifies to 3m + -5.

3m + -5 means the same exact thing as 3m - 5.

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
