Q. Rewrite in simplest terms: 0.7(10q−6)+0.3(−q−2)Answer:
Distribute Terms in First Parentheses: Distribute 0.7 to the terms inside the first parentheses.0.7×10q gives us 7q, and 0.7×−6 gives us −4.2.So, 0.7(10q−6) becomes 7q−4.2.
Distribute Terms in Second Parentheses: Distribute 0.3 to the terms inside the second parentheses.0.3×−q gives us −0.3q, and 0.3×−2 gives us −0.6.So, 0.3(−q−2) becomes −0.3q−0.6.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.Add 7q and −0.3q to get 6.7q.Add −4.2 and −0.6 to get −4.8.So, the expression becomes 6.7q−4.8.
