What is the value of the following expression if x = 22: "five times a number x,
decreased by 2"?

108

Step-by-step explanation:

"five times a number x, decreased by 2" can be expressed as: 5x - 2

Now,

5x - 2 = 5*22 - 2 = 110 - 2 = 108

168

step-by-step explanation:

first off, we know that he drove 3.5 hours at a rate of 48 mph.

knowing that, we want to see how many miles he drove all-together.

in this case, we can just multiply 48 by 3.5.

48 * 3.5 = 168
