Answer:

12x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 9x - 5 can be easily simplified by combining like terms.

3x and 9x are like terms because they both contain the same variable and the same exponent (understood to be 1).

Therefore, because an addition sign separates the two terms, it is expected of you to add the two together. To do this, just add the terms together as you would any other terms.

3x + 9x = 12x

Because the 5 is the only constant in the equation, it cannot be combined with anything else.

The simplified expression is 12x - 5.

Assume that all interest is simple interestBerger Car rental borrow $8500 at 4% interest to cover the increase cost of the auto

viva [34]

we know that

The formula of simple interest is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

In this problem

we have

I=$170

P=$8,500

r=4%=4/100=0.04

t=?

substitute given values in the formula

$\begin{gathered} 170=8,500(0.04t) \\ Solve\text{ for t} \\ t=\frac{170}{8,500*0.04} \\ t=0.5\text{ years} \end{gathered}$

therefore

0.5 years=6 months

<h2>The answer is 6 months</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes an hour and 45 minutes to mow one lawn. When you multiply the 7 hours by 5 you get 35 hours. Same thing if you multiply the 4 lawns by 5 you get 20 lawns.
