Answer:

4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are terms that share the same variable (or base) and the same exponents.

5x and x are like terms in that they share the variable x but the coefficients are different.

To combine like terms you would look at the sign (in this case, a subtraction sign) and subtract the two coefficients.

There is an imaginary 1 in attached to x, so you are basically subtracting 1 from 5.

5x - x = 4x

4x is equivalent to 5x - x.

A 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

There are (63) combinations. The notation means "six choose three". Out of six items (flavors) choose three.

(nk)=n!k!(n−k)!.

(63)=6!3!3!.

Think of it this way. There are 6 ways to choose a flavor. Once you choose, there are 5 ways to choose the next. After that, there are 4 flavors left. which is 6!/3!=6⋅5⋅4⋅3⋅2⋅13⋅2⋅1=6⋅5⋅4=120.

But, you could have chosen {chocolate,vanilla,strawberry} and you get the same combination as {vanilla, strawberry, chocolate} so we have to divide by 3!=3⋅2⋅1=6 to account for the order of choosing.

So the number of combinations of flavors is (63)=1206=20.
