Answer: 9x-3x and 5x+x
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Brianna's thinking is incorrect because of course, when x is 0, the expression will equal whatever value isn't an x term. To find equivalent expression, you actually need to find which expressions have the same amount of x terms and the same value.
2. Expressions A and C are equivalent.
3. Expression A can be simplified, as you can do 9x - 3x = 6x, so your final expression would be 6x - 4. Expression C can also be simplified with 5x + x = 6x, which can then also be written as 6x - 4. This means both expressions have the same amount of x terms, and the same value, so they are equivalent.
D is correct because it is a tenth and it becomes a hundredth
Answer:
52(9/7)^t/1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The function N(t) a which models the number of branches t years after Aleksandra began studying her trees ;
Initial number of branches = 52
Increment every 1.5 years = 2/7
N(t) = Initial * (1 + r)^t
t expressed per year = t/1.5
Hence,
N(t) = 52(1 + 2/7)^t/1.5
N(t) = 52(9/7)^t/1.5
Four plus the absolute value of twenty-seven minus ten
