So it is asking you to group like term so
x terms can be grouped/added/subtracted to other x terms, but not to x^2 or x^3 terms
x^2 terms to x^2 and so on so
1. 9-3k+5k=
9+(5k-3k)=
9+2k
2. k^2+2k+4k=
k^2+(2k+4k)=
k^2+6k=
If x-y=2 then x=2+y
And if you insert that in the first equation




Or

The first one is bigger so the answer is
Answer:
5x^2+x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 5x into (x+1)
to get 5x^2+5x
Multiply -4 into (x+1)
to get -4x-4
Combine like terms
5x^2+5x-4x-4
Answer:
5x^2+x-4

Answer:
9 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
In problems of this nature, the usual assumption is that the time required is proportional to the work product and inversely proportional to the number of people doing the job. Here, there is no change in the amount of work, but the number of people is reduced by a factor of 12/18 = 2/3.
So, the amount of time required is expected to increase by a factor of 1/(2/3) = 3/2.
(6 weeks)×(3/2) = 9 weeks
It would have taken 9 weeks to sew the 540 dresses.
