80 = 5 x 4 x 4
they have 4 flavors of icecream
you get this by multiplying all the variables and how many different possibilities each variable can be
so,
5 different syrups (5)
4 different candy toppings (4)
from that you know 5 x 4 x ? = 80
so 5 x 4 = 20, and 20 x 4 = 80
so 4 different flavors of ice cream (4)
Theres no picture or problem for 5a.... where is it?
Yes but your answer must be in negative
like: X= -1/2 or -0.5
If you would like to simplify the expression (x - 8y) - (2x - 4y), you can do this using the following steps:
(x - 8y) - (2x - 4y) = x - 8y - 2x + 4y = -x - 4y
ax + by = -x - 4y
a = -1
b = -4
The value of b would be -4.
If you would like to simplify the expression (4x - 6) - (3x + 6), you can do this using the following steps:
(4x - 6) - (3x + 6) = 4x - 6 - 3x - 6 = x - 12
The correct result would be x - 12.
