Then, we must add similar terms.
We have then:
Answer:
The final product is given by:
option 2
The answer is: "
40 cm " .
_________________________________________________________<u>Note</u>:_________________________________________________________ ;
Solve for "x" (in "cm" ) ;
→ 5x = 200 * 1 ;
→ 5x = 200 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "5" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 5x / 5 = 200 / 5 ;
to get:
→ x = 40 .
___________________________________________________________The answer is: "
40 cm " .
