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.

Contact [7]

6 chewy toys and 6 cat collars are needed to have the same amount or price at both stores.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more angles and variables.

Let x represent the number of dogs and y represent the number of cats collars. Hence:

At Marco's market:

2x + 6y = 48 (1)

At Sonia's superstore:

4x + 4y = 48  (2)

Graphing both equations, the solution is at (6,6)

6 chewy toys and 6 cat collars are needed to have the same amount or price at both stores.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

1) James brother is 10-x years old

2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old

3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old

4) 3(x-3)=7-x

5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x

5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago

<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x

<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x

<=> 4x = 16

<=> x = 4
