Because like terms you add or subtract together to make it easier to do the problem. just like you do with whole numbers. you add an subtract to make the answer simpler.

Adding and subtracting like terms is the same as adding and subtracting of numbers, i.e., natural numbers, whole numbers and integers. So, the sum and the difference of several like terms is another like term whose coefficient is the sum and the difference of the coefficient of several like terms.

hope this helped:)

The vertex of this parabola is at (-2, -3). When the x-value is -1, the
valina [46]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the vertex form of the equation of a parabola:  y - k = a(x - h)^2

Here h = -2, k = -3, x = -1, y = -5.  Find a:

-5 - [-3] = a(-1 - [-2])^2, or

-5 + 3 = a(1)^2, or

-2 = a

The unknown coefficient is -2.

Can y'all help me step by step with number 5
aev [14]
If the wall with 4 ft. of storage area can fit 6 sections of plant and the wall with 7 ft. Can fit 5, that means each section is 3 ft. because 7-4=3, so that extra section on the wall with 4 ft. You do this because there is one extra section on the wall with four. Knowing this, the wall with 7 ft. Would be the 7 ft. + 5 sections of 3 ft. So 7+(5x3) = 22. On the wall with 4 ft., do the same,
4+(6x3) =22. Since they are equal and the walls are supposed to be equal, we can confirm this is the right answer

9. Solve for x,<br>9x - 25<br>5x + 7<br>N​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + -25 = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x

-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-25 + 4x = 7 + 0

-25 + 4x = 7

Add '25' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0

0 + 4x = 7 + 25

4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32

4x = 32

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8
