Simplify the polynomials by combining like terms 3x 5x 4x

1 answer:

8 0

Hello! Combining like terms is just a fancy way of saying add all these numbers together. As long as numbers have the same variable (in this case x) and the same exponent (they don't have any in this case), you can add them together like normal. So! 3x + 5x +4x is the same as 3+5+4. Your simplified polynomial is 12x. Good luck with the math homework!

I own a large truck, and my neighbor owns four small trucks that are all identical. My truck can carry a load of at least $600$

erastova [34]

Answer:

there is no greatest load

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:

x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more

x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers

Combining these two inequalities, we have ...

4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600

1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y

y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3

My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
