Answer 1

Answer:

The combined like terms to create an equivalent expression 20(-1.5r+ 0.75) is −30r + 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression:

20(-1.5r+0.75)

Use the distributive property: a (b + c) = ab + bc

-30r + 15

After using distribution property there are no more like terms. Thus, -30r + 15 is the simplest form.

Hence, the combined like terms to create an equivalent expression 20(–1.5r+0.75) is −30r +15.
