Algebra help?

Ok i need help with my algebra homework %26amp; I only get it a little. Once I get the paper Im blanked out %26amp;%26amp; get all confuse. It would be great if you can simplify these:


1. 4(b+8)-7b


2. (t+8)-5t+4


3. 4(5+c)+9c


4. 4x+8x-3x+2x


I'll just give you these. It would be great if you can explain it to me. Email me if you would like to be my algebra tutor when I get math homework. xD

Algebra help?
1. 4(b + 8) - 7b= (multiply the parenthesis)


4b + 32 -7b (do four minus seven, cuz the both have b)


32 + -3b or 32 - 3b (that's the answer)





2. (t+ 8) 5t +4 = (just get rid of the parenthesis, it is not needed)


t + 8 - 5t +4 = (put a one by the t: 1t -5t = -4t) +( 8 +4) +


-4t + 12





3. 4(5 +c) + 9c= (multiply everything in the parenthesis by four)


20 + 4c +9c= (add the c)


20 + 13c





4. 4x+8x- 3x+2x= 11x (just pretend like there are no x and do the math) the person above me is wrong on this one, the answer is 11x





You mentioned a tutor as well. I'll email you about that.
Reply:1. 4(b+8) -7b then you distribute


4b+32-7b then you simplify


32-3b is your answer





2. (t+8)-5t+4 then you simplify


-4t+12 is your answer





3.4(5+c)+9c then you distribute


20+4c+9c then you simplify


20+13c is youe answer





4. 4x+8x-3x+2x then simplify


12x-x complete simplifing


11x is your answer
Reply:1) distribute the constant


= (4b + 32 )- 7b


simplify


= -3b + 32 = answer





2) t+8 - 5t+4


groub all the variables and constants


= t-5t +8+4


add all the variables and the constants


= -4t + 12 = answer





3) distribute the constant


= (20 + 4c) + 9c


simplify


= 20 + 13c = answer





4) add all the variables then subtract the remaining


= 4x + 8x + 2x - 3x


= 14x - 3x


= 11x
Reply:1. -3b +32


2. -4t +12


3. 13c +20


4. 17x
Reply:1. 4(b+8)-7b. With this one you need to multip 4 with b and 4 with 8 then mimus 4b to 7b. It would be like this:


4b+32-7b= -3b+32





2.(t+8)-5t+4. With this one you need to get rid of the parenthese. So it would be like this:


t+8-5t+4= -4t+12


3.4(5+c)+9c. With this one you need to time 4 to 5 and 4 to c then plus 4c to 9c. It would be like this:


20+4c+9c=20+13c


4.4x+8x-3x+2x. With this one you need to do multip first and then add and subtract. It would be like this:


12x-3x+2x=9x+2x=11x


Here the answer for all of them:


1.-3b+32


2. -4t+12


3.20+13c


4.11x


Hope this help you. If you need help on anything please email me at( modung_vnnn@yahoo.com)
Reply:1. 4(b+8) - 7b





You will multiply the 4 times b and 4 times +8. that will become 4b + 32.





Then you will subtract the 7b.





4b + 32 - 7b.





You only have 4b. You have to take away 7b. Once you have taken away 4b, you will still have to take away 3 more giving you -3b.





Answer: 32 - 3b





2. (t+ 8) - 5t + 4





You are not multiplying anything by something within parentheses in this problem so it is more straightforward.





Group together the like terms:


t - 5t and 8 + 4





t - 5t = -4t (Here again you have to take away more t's than you have, so you will go into the negative numbers.





8 + 4 = 12





So the answer is: -4t + 12 or 12 - 4t





3. 4(5 + c) + 9c





You are multiplying something times an amount within parentheses in this problem. You have to do that multiplication first.





4 x 5 and 4 x c for 20 + 4c





Then add the 9c.





20 + 4c + 9c = 20 + 13c








4. 4x + 8x - 3x + 2x





All of these are like terms (x's) so they can just be added up and subtracted.





4x + 8x = 12x





then -3x = 9x





then + 2x = 11x





Answer: 4x + 8x - 3x + 2x = 11x
Reply:for the first three you use distributive property and then you combine the like term and then thats it remember that if it comes out to -3b+24 then you cant add them together because of the variable so here what you would do for the first one:





4(b+8)-7b the thing you do is you multiply everything by 4 in the parenthesis so then it comes out to


4b+24-7b then combine like terms meaning you combine the one with variables with the ones with variables and the one with numbers with numbers and then you get





-3b+24 and that is you answer use this for an example and if you need more help my name is Nathan Grissom type that in on myspace and find me if you cant do that email me at nateydd22@verizon.net
