When you're simplifying equations, you have to collect the like terms (the similar ones, eg- fractions would be like terms, and so would letters). When you're simplifying, you also have to take note of the operation before the equation. 1) Firstly, collect the like terms of M (M and -4M). As M comes before -4M, you have to add -4M to M. As -4M is a negative, this overwrites the addition, and this becomes M-4M. This then gives you -3M. The same applies to the fractions, as you have -1/6 + 5/6, you have to add 5/6 to -1/6, and this gives you 4/6, or 2/3 simplified. Therefore, you put these together- and this gives you -3M + 4/6, however, you normally have a negative number second, so one this has been rearranged, this gives you 4/6-3m.
2). Same applies to this one, you also have to collect the like terms of W. 2.3W and -3W. You simply have to subtract -3W from 2.3W, and this gives you -0.7W. You now have to collect the numbers, and you have -7 and 8. 8 is a positive, therefore, you have to add 8 to -7, giving you 1. Therefore, when you collect the like terms, this gives you -0.7W+1. As aforementioned, you cannot have a negative first, so one this is rearranged, this gives you 1-0.7W
<span>The journalist stated she had gotten that piece of information from a reputable source.
Which answer correctly describes the bolded word?
I believe that the word “that” is an adjective describing what kind. The reason being that it is talking about information that was acquired from a reputable source. I believe that it’s answer choice D).<span>
Not only does the question ask about the price, but it asks about it overall. For example, the rest of the options ask about a tablespoon cost, or about the stocks of only tea, and how it was selling. In conclusion, Option A is the most relevant answer.
