1. The simplified expression is 10x+8y-12.
Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
-6x-12+8y+16x
-6x and 16x are both like terms, so those can be combined.
-6x+16x=10x
10x+8y-12
2. The solution to the equation is x=13.
Solve by adding 17 to both sides of the equation.
-4=-17+x
-4+17=-17+17+x
13=x
Answer:
5/9 and 6/11
= 5/9 × 11/11 and 6/11 × 9/9
= 55/99 and 54/99
= 55/99 > 54/99
<em>therefore, 5 by 9 is greater than 6 by 11</em>
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie

Answer:
x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
4x– 15 = 17 - 4x+10x
4x+4x-10x = 17+15
-2x=32
-x=16
x=-16
