-1/2(7z+4)+1/5(5z-15) can anyone show me how to get the answer please and thank you?
\(-\frac{1}{2}(7z+4)+\frac{1}{5}(5z-15)\)
First, let's use the distributive property
We get
\(-\frac{7}{2}z-2+z-3\)
I like using decimals, so this simplifies to
\(-3.5z-2+z-3\)
Now, let's just evaluate
\(-2.5z-5\)
That's the answer
