Answer:
? are we combining like terms?
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! :)
This question states that four families each brought the same number of chairs. We know that 27 chairs are needed overall and 3 are still needed after the four families' contributions.
Knowing this, you can figure out that you could do 27-3. This equals 24, so you would then just divide 24 by 4, since there are 4 families.
Your final answer should be that each family brought 6 chairs.
Hope this helps!
The restrictions are the values tha tmake the denomenators 0
if I understnad correctly, we have

which simplifies to

denomenator is x(x+9)
set to zero to find restrictions
x(x+9)=0
set to zero
x=0
x+9=0
x=-9
restrictions are x≠0 or -9
