We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
Answer:
90 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the inscribed triangle is 1/2 that of the enclosing triangle. So, the total of perimeters is ...
(3·16 in)(1 +1/2 +1/4 +1/8) = (48 in)(15/8) = 90 inches
Here are 3= 7:1 28:4 56:8
Answer:
cost of one cupcake = $2.75
cost of one brownie = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = number of cupcakes
Let b = number of brownies
Equation 1: 5c + 2b = 16.25
Equation 2: 7c + 6b = 26.75
Multiply equation 1 by 3:
⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75
Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:
⇒ 8c = 22
Divide both sides by 8:
⇒ c = 2.75
Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:
⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 2b = 2.5
⇒ b = 1.25
Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25
Answer:
-4x^2 -2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2+(4x-6x^2)+9-(6x+3)
Distribute the minus sign
2x^2+4x-6x^2+9-6x-3
Combine like terms
2x^2 -6x^2 +4x -6x +9-3
-4x^2 -2x+6
