An expression is given.

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

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?

A. 0.25x - 6.50

B. 0.25% + 1.00

C. 0.25x + 4.50

D. 0.25x - 3.00

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
