Simplify the expression and then evaluate it for the given value of the variable: (6−2x)+(15−3x) for x=−0.2
PLEASE HELP

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no factors outside the parentheses that need to be distributed, so the parentheses can be simply dropped:

  6 -2x +15 -3x

The terms can be rearranged to put like terms next to each other:

  -2x -3x +6 +15

and the like terms can be combined.

  -5x +21 . . . . simplified expression

__

Put the value of x where x is, then do the arithmetic.

  -5(-0.2) +21 = 1 +21 = 22

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for
