(5h-4)-(h-5) combining like terms

1 answer:

5 0

Distribute the negative throughout the set of parenthesis

5h-4-h+5

Ok, so your like terms are...

5h and -h

-4 and +5

If you rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other, it is easier to combine them:

5h-h-4+5

5h-h=4h

-4+5=1

So, the problem is:

4h+1

Hope that helps :)

Point B(6, -3) is translated using the rule (x -5 y + 9) what is the y coordinate of B'

Andrej [43]

This rule shows how we transition the x-coordinate and y-coordinate when finding B'.

In this rule, it shows us what to add/subtract from the x-value and y-value in the coordinate. We can see that it wants us to subtract 5 from the x-value (based on the "x - 5") and that it wants us to add 9 to the y-value (based on the "y + 9"). Based on this information, we can find B':

$\textrm{B}'(6 - 5, -3 + 9)$
