We are asked to simplify the expression

$\star~~\large\pmb{3x+5-2x}$ .

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

Combine like terms.

The like terms here are: 3x-2x; let's combine them:

$\star~\large\pmb{x+5}$

We can't simplify this any further, because x and 5 are not like terms.

$\ddot\bigstar$ Remember this...

$\fbox{Variables\:and\;numbers\;are\;not\;like\;terms}$

Hope it helps you out! :D

Ask in comments if any queries arise.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x and 2x are like terms so,

3x + 5 - 2x

3x - 2x + 5 = x + 5

In a circle of radius 10 cm, a sector has an area of 40 (pi) sq. cm. What is the degree measure of the arc of the sector?

Rashid [163]

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the circle, with the formula A = $\pi$ r²

Plug in 10 as the radius, and solve

A = $\pi$ r²

A = $\pi$ (10²)

A = 100 $\pi$

Using this, create a proportion that relates the area of the sector to the degree measure of the arc.

Let x represent the degree measure of the arc of the sector:

$\frac{40\pi }{100\pi }$ = $\frac{x}{360}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

100 $\pi$ x = 14400 $\pi$

x = 144

So, the degree measure of the sector arc is 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 3^2\times \:3^4\times \:3^6$

<u>Apply exponent rule:</u>

$\hookrightarrow \boxed{\sf a^b\times \:a^c=a^{b+c}}$

$\sf 3^2\times \:3^4\times \:3^6$

$\sf 3^{2+4+6}$

Add the numbers:

$\sf 2+4+6=12$

$\sf \:3^{12}$

Find the area of the parallelogram shown below and choose the appropriate result.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile² ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a parallelogram is A = b1 × h1 = b2 × h2, where

b1 and b2 are two adjacent sides of it

h1 and h2 are the heights perpendicular to these bases

In the given figure

∵ There is a parallelogram

∵ One of its bases is 0.25 mile

∴ b1 = 0.25 mile

∵ the height of this base is 0.75 mile

∴ h1 = 0.75 mile

→ By using the rule of the area above

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.25 × 0.75

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.1875 mile²

∴ The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile²

What is 380.5 rounded to the nearest whole number

Lisa [10]

Answer:

It will be 381. You round up if it is five and over, and round down if 5 and below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A decimal cannot be a whole number so rounding to the nearest whole number means getting rid of the decimal. You do this by rounding up if it 5 and up, and rounding down if it is 5 and below. 380.5 means you would round up to 381. If it it were 380.4, you would round down to 380.
