Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?
Both lines intersect at the point
(-0.5, 0.5)
In polynomials, when a term contains both a number and a variable part, the number is called the co-efficient.
In this problem the co-efficient of x =
(8+y)+(3x+y2)
3y+3x+8
Therefore the co efficient of x and y is 3
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of cubic yards of mulch that first truck can transport
y: number of cubic yards of mulch that second truck can transport
Now we write the expression.
The first truck makes 12 trips to a job site:

The second makes 14 trips:

The difference between the first truck and the second truck is:
Answer:
An expression that represents the difference in the total number of cubic yards that the first truck delivers compared to the second is:
