The answer is 5, which is a monomial.

Let's simplify using the distributive property.

3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x(2) - 3x(x)
3x² + 6x + 5 - 6x - 3x²
5

If the resulting expression has only one term, it is classified as a monomial.

Answer:

Simplified = 5

Classification = Monomial

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>PART I: Simplify the expression</h2>

<u>Given expression:</u>

3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)

<u>Expand parenthesis by distributive property:</u>

= 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2) - 3x (x)

= 3x² +6x + 5 - 6x - 3x²

<u>Put like terms together:</u>

= 3x² - 3x² + 6x - 6x + 5

= 0 + 0 + 5

= $\boxed{5}$

<h2>PART II: Classify polynomial</h2>

<u>Concept:</u>

Polynomial is classified by the number of terms a polynomial has.

Monomial: a polynomial with only one term
Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
...

<u>Classify the given expression:</u>

Original = 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)

Simplified = 5

5 is a constant and it has only one term

Therefore, it is a <u>monomial</u>.

Hope this helps!! :)

Which expression results in a sum or difference of five and six fifty fourths? (3 points) a eight and seven ninths minus three a

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) eight and seven ninths minus three and four sixths

Step-by-step explanation:

The required result is $5\frac{6}{54}$

$8\frac{7}{9} -3\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{79}{9} -\frac{22}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{474-198}{54} \\\\=\frac{276}{54}\\\\=5\frac{6}{54}$

$6\frac{8}{9} -1\frac{5}{6}\\\\=\frac{62}{9} -\frac{11}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{372-99}{54} \\\\=\frac{273}{54}\\\\=5\frac{3}{54}$

$4\frac{1}{6} +1\frac{1}{9}\\\\=\frac{10}{9} +\frac{25}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{60+225}{54} \\\\=\frac{285}{54}\\\\=5\frac{15 }{54}$

$3\frac{3}{6} +2\frac{4}{9}\\\\=\frac{22}{9} +\frac{21}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{132+189}{54} \\\\=\frac{321}{54}\\\\=5\frac{51 }{54}$
