Answer:

$-4xy+6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression = $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

Simplifying the expression :

Step 1. Write the expression = $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

Step 2. Add the similar elements: $3x+3x=6x$

= $-2xy-2xy+6x$

Step 3. Add the similar elements: $-2xy-2xy=-4xy$

= $-4xy+6x$

Therefore, $-4xy+6x$ is the simplified form of $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

First you must combine like terms, the two terms I this expression are x, and xy. So by adding -2xy to -2xy you get -4xy. Next you must add 3x to 3x. This gives you the simplified expression -4xy+6x. Hope this helps!

Which statement is true?

love history [14]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

<h2>First option,</h2>

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}$

<h2>Second option,</h2>

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

$(a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}$

$\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }$

We are given the expression:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}$

So, applying the properties, we have:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Hence,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

<h2>Third option,</h2>

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}$

<h2>Fourth option,</h2>

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }$

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Have a nice day!

Help me!! A water tank is 1/8 full. The tank is 3/4 full when 42 gallons of water is added to the tank. How much can the water t

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer(s):

1.) 56 gallons

2.) 7 gallons

3.) 28 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Q1: How much water can the tank hold?</em></u>

Based on the question, we know that 3/4 of the tank equals 42 gallons. Divide 42 by the numerator, 3.

42/3 = 14

Now, multiply 14 by the denominator, 4.

14 x 4 = 56.

<em><u>So, the tank can hold 56 gallons.</u></em> [If you'd like to double check this answer, take the fraction 42/56 and simplify it to get 3/4.

<u><em>Q2: How much water was originally in the tank?</em></u>

We know that the tank's maximum capacity is 56 gallons. So, if it was 1/8 originally full, multiply 56 by 1/8. [Remember that 56 as a fraction can be written as 56/1]

1/8(56/1) = 7

<u><em>This means that the tank was originally 7 gallons full.</em></u> [If you'd like to double check this answer, take the fraction 1/8 and multiply the numerator and denominator by 7. This gets you 7/56, or 7 gallons out of the total capacity, 56 gallons.]

<u><em>Q3: How much water is in the tank when it is 1/2 full?</em></u>

Earlier, we found out that the maximum capacity of the tank is 56 gallons. To find out how many gallons it holds when its half full, divide 56 by 2.

56/2 = 28

<em><u>So, when the tank is 1/2 full, it contains 28 gallons.</u></em> [If you want to double check this answer, take the fraction 28/56 and simplify it. When you do, you get 1/2.]
