How to combine like terms

Mathematics
1 answer:
aev [14]2 years ago
8 0

Example: 1x+2y+3z+4a+5x+6y+7z+8+9

We can see that there is more than one number with the variable x, therefore, we say they're ''like terms'' and because of that they can be summed. We do this with all of the other numbers with similar variables. If no numbers with similar variables are left, like 4a, you don't do anything but write them as they are. You can also see that 8 and 9 can also be summed because neither of them has a variable, therefore they're similar.

In this step, you just do the operation with the numbers and keep the same variable.

(1x+5x)+(2y+6y)+(3z+7z)+4a+(8+9)

(6x)+(8y)+(10z)+4a+(17)

since there are not more numbers similar in variables, this operation is done.

6x+8y+10z+4a+17

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

28 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

On a 32-meter roll of fabric, it cuts an eighth of the total. How many meters of fabric are left in a roll?

step 1

we know that

To find out how many meters of fabric were cut, multiply the total meters by the fraction that was cut

32(\frac{1}{8})=4\ m

step 2

To find out how many meters of fabric are left, subtract the meters of fabric that were cut from the total meters of fabric

so

32-4=28\ m
