Mathematics

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.

Is 1.5/7.5 a rational number
MissTica
A rational number is a number that can be written as a simple fraction (as a ratio) and an irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a simple fraction (irrational means not rational) Example: 1.5 is rational because it can be written as 3/2. 7.5 is rational because it can be written as 15/2, so in my mind, yes it is rational because both top and bottom are rational. Hope this helped!! :):)

2. Consider the functions
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1 Subtract 8x8x from both sides.

fx-8x=-10fx−8x=−10

2 Factor out the common term xx.

x(f-8)=-10x(f−8)=−10

3 Divide both sides by f-8f−8.

x=-\frac{10}{f-8}x=−

​f−8

​

​10

​​

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

gx-2x=-7gx−2x=−7

2 Factor out the common term xx.

x(g-2)=-7x(g−2)=−7

3 Divide both sides by g-2g−2.

x=-\frac{7}{g-2}x=−

​g−2

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−0.5,8) and has a slope of −5?
natima [27]

Answer:

Slope=-1.8, X=-0.5, y=1.9

Equation is y^2-y^1=m(x^2-x^1).

Y-1.9=-1.8(X-(-0.5))

Y-1.9=-1.8x+0.90

Add 1.9 on both sides.

Y= -1.8x+1.

I hope this helps you.
