Answer: 19x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the order of operations to simplify the given expression.
Given:
(4x - 3) · 2 · 25 · 2 ÷ 20 - (x - 1)
Multiply 2 · 25 · 2:
(4x - 3) · 100 ÷ 20 - (x - 1)
Divide 100 by 20:
(4x - 3) · 5 - (x - 1)
Distribute (multiply) 5 into 4x - 3:
20x - 15 - (x - 1)
Distribute (multiply) -1 into x - 1:
20x - 15 - x + 1
Reorder:
20x - x - 15 + 1
Combine like terms:
19x - 14
