The given algebraic expressions 5xy and -8xy are like terms because of the similarity in their variable and it's power.

As per the question statement, we are given algebraic expressions 5xy and -8xy and we are supposed to tell whether these two terms are like or not.

We know that in Algebra, the phrases or terms that include the same variable and are raised to the same power are referred to as "like terms."

Hence as the variable part in the expressions, 5xy and -8xy, are same hence they can be added and subtracted hence are called like terms.

  • Algebraic expressions: An expression which is constructed using integer constants, variables, and algebraic operations is known as an algebraic expression in mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation by an exponent that is a rational number)
  • Like terms: The definition of similar words is the terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients can alter in terms that are similar to algebra. We may combine similar words to make algebraic expressions simpler, making it much simpler to determine the expression's outcome.

A straight line intersects the curved graph y=x^2-4x at the point where x=-1 and x=-2. Work out the equation of the straight lin
mestny [16]
Y = -7x - 2 Use the two points given to find the slope (m) m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1)) m = -7 Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in. Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'. y = -7x + b 5 = -7(-1) + b b = -2 Final eqn: y = -7x - 2

20. Joshua sold a batch of tickets for carnival rides. The ratio of adult
nikitadnepr [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

a = original number of adult tickets

c = original number of child tickets

a/c = 2/5

a = 2c/5

(a+70)/(c+300) = 1/3

(2c/5 + 70)/(c + 300) = 1/3

2c/5 + 70 = (c + 300)/3

2c + 350 = 5(c + 300)/3

6c + 1050 = 5(c + 300) = 5c + 1500

c = 450

a = 2c/5 = 2×450/5 = 2×90 = 180

Joshua sold therefore in total

180 + 70 = 250 adult tickets.

and by the way

450 + 300 = 750 child tickets.

What is the area of a rectangle if 1 base is 14 in, the 2nd base is 3.5 in and the height is 8 in?​
algol13

Check the picture below.

notice, we have three pair of sides, let's add them all up to get the area

\stackrel{\textit{left and right}}{2(8\cdot 14)}+\stackrel{\textit{front and back}}{2(3.5\cdot 8)}+\stackrel{\textit{top and bottom}}{2(3.5\cdot 14)}\implies 378~in^2
