If you use an app called Socratic, take a photo of the questions and it will show you how to work it out and the answer and etc.
(x+y)0
(-3+5)0
(-15)0
THE ANSWER IS 0 BECAUSE YOU ARE MULTIPLYING BY 0
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
(original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00
At the other store,
$29 = 0.58b
$29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate
Then Julia's total spending is
a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00
Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.
I think it would require 100 workers since 1 worker digs up 1 yard.
Hope this helps.
First, let's add all the x's.
x + x + x + x + x = 5x
5x - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
Now, let's add together all the 1's that are being added (not the 1 that is being subtracted from 5x).
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
5x - 1 + 3
3 - 1 = 2
5x + 2
There's no way you can actually solve this unless you know the value of x; without x's value, this is as simplified as the expression is going to get.
Hope this helps!
