terms: -5x, 4, -x, -1
like terms: 4 and -1, -5x and -x
coefficients: -5 and -1
constants: 4 and 1
(depending on your teacher, the - could not be considered part of the coeficient, meaning the coefficents would be -5 and 1, as well as just x, not -x)
Answer:
3:6:4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Number of apples in the basket=12
Number of pears in the basket=24
Number of oranges in the basket=16
We have to find the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the basket.



HCF (12,24,16)=4
Now, divide each number by HCF
Then, we get
3:6:4
Therefore, the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the basket.
3:6:4
The reciprocal is basically the number flipped. It would be 5/3 or 1 2/3.
