Answer:

A. 0.25x - 6.50

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x-1) - 2.75(x+2)

first open the bracket by expansion and this gives,

3x - 1 - 2.75x - 5.5

now group like terms,

3x - 2.5x - 5.5 - 1

simplify the like terms, that is 3x -2.5x = 0.25 and -5.5 - 1 = -6.50

> 0.25x - 6.50 is the answer

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression is 0.25x - 6.50.

Given the expression (3.x – 1) – 2.75(x + 2)

To get the expression that is equivalent to the given expression, we will expand the bracket first using the distributive property as shown:

[tex]= (3x -1) - 2.75(x + 2)\\=3x - 1- 2.75x-2.75(2)\\= 3x-2.75x-1-5.50\\= 0.25x-6.50[/tex]

Hence the expression that is equivalent to the given expression is 0.25x - 6.50.
