Question

question 1-4
find the sum of the expressions (11.8x - 1.9) and (-7x + 6.5)
\bigcirc 18.8x - 4.6
\bigcirc 18.8x + 4.6
\bigcirc 4.8x + 4.6
\bigcirc 4.8x - 4.6

Explanation:

Step1: Write the sum of the two expressions

We need to find the sum of \((11.8x - 1.9)\) and \((-7x + 6.5)\). So we set up the expression: \((11.8x - 1.9)+(-7x + 6.5)\)

Step2: Combine like terms for the \(x\)-terms

Combine \(11.8x\) and \(-7x\). \(11.8x-7x = 4.8x\)

Step3: Combine like terms for the constant terms

Combine \(-1.9\) and \(6.5\). \(-1.9 + 6.5=4.6\)

Step4: Write the final expression

Putting the combined terms together, we get \(4.8x + 4.6\)

Answer:

\(4.8x + 4.6\) (which corresponds to the option "4.8x + 4.6")
