Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

I'm assuming you want this simplified. If not leave a note.

a(x + 1) - b(x + 1) - x - 1                     remove the brackets

ax + a - bx - b - x - 1                        gather like terms

ax - bx - x + a - b - 1

x(a - b - 1)  + (a - b - 1)                      Use the distributive property to simplify

Answer

(x + 1)(a - b - 1)

The common factor is (a - b - 1). That can be pulled out on either side of the isolated + sign

Find the sum of 12a + 7b, −6a − 9, and 14a − 12b.
Ivan
The answer is:  [A]:  " 20a − 5b − 9 " .
______________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________
  (12a <span>+ 7b) + (−6a − 9) + (14a − 12b) =
 
   12a </span><span>+ 7b  +  1(−6a − 9) + 1(14a − 12b) =
</span>    
   12a + 7b + (1*-6a) + (1*-9) + (1*14a) + (1* -12b) =
      
    12a + 7b − 6a − 9 + 14a − 12b =  ?

Combine the "like terms:

12a − 6a  + 14a = 20a ; 

7b − 12b =  - 5b ;

and then we have "-9" ;
_____________________________________________________
So, write as:   " 20a − 5b − 9 " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [A].

It costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. How much does it cost for 12 square feet of flooring?
belka [17]
We know that it costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. To find out how much it costs for 12, we first have to find out how much it costs for 1 square foot.
To find that, we would do $68 divided by 16, which is 4.25.
That means 1 square foot costs $4.25.
Then, we would multiply $4.25 by 12 to find how much 12 square feet costs.
$4.25 times 12 is 51.

So, it would cost $51 to have 12 square feet of flooring.

4x-11y=68 ; 6x+5y=-27 by elimination
zimovet [89]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{2}\\\\y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{4x-11y=68} \atop {6x+5y=-27}} \right.

In order to solve the system of equations using the Elimination Method, you can follow these steps:

- Multiply the first equation by -6 and the secondd equation by 4.

- Add both equations.

- Solve for "y".

Then:

\left \{ {{-24x+66y=-408} \atop {24x+20y=-108}} \right\\.........................\\86y=300\\\\y=\frac{-516}{86}\\\\y=-6

- Substitute the value of "y" into one of the original equations and solve for "x":

6x+5(-6)=-27\\\\6x=-27+30\\\\x=\frac{3}{6}\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}
