Combine Like Terms and Eliminate Parenthesis.5z-[2z-(13z+8)]

Mathematics

We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.

The first parenthesis is 13z+8. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).

So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

2z-13z-8

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

2z-(13z +8) = 2z-13z-8 = (2-13)z-8 = -11z-8

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

5z-(-11z-8) = 5z+11z+8 = (5+11)z+8=16z+8

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.

Patrick wants to buy a rug for a section of his living room. When he approaches a rug vendor, which measurement would be most ap
Kazeer [188]
Usually, rugs have a rectangular shape, therefore the section of the living room that Patrick wants to cover is a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length and the width of the rectangle:
A = l × w

Hence, the most appropriate measurements Patrick should provide are the length and the width of the section of his living room he wants to cover.

The perimeter of the triangle at the right is 22.6 in. What is the value of n?
blagie [28]

Answer:

A. 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is just the sum of all of the side lengths. The sides of this triangle are n inches, (n + 5.2) inches, and (2n + 3.4) inches.

So, your equation is n + n + 5.2 + 2n + 3.4 = 22.6 inches.

You can combine like terms (adding together all of the n's and all of the numbers) to simplify your equation to 4n + 8.6 = 22.6 inches.

Subtract 8.6 from both sides of the equation to get 4n = 14, and divide both sides by 4 to get n = 3.5.

Hope this helps! :)
