The weights of 11 swimmers in the team were recorded by the coach and the average weight was 86 pounds. Three swimmers whose weights were 88 pounds, 79 pounds,
and 83 pounds left the team. What was the new average?

where is the figure

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
