She is correct because a negative subtracted by a negative is positive.
Answer:
5 terms: m, 4, 2, -7m, 6 are the terms in question.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that terms here are separated from one another by either + or - signs.
m + 4 consists of two terms, since m and 4 are separated by the + operator.
2 - 7m are separated by the - operator, and so there are two terms here.
Completing the counting procedure, we get:
m (first term) + 4 (second term) + 2 (third term -7m (fourth term) + 6 (fifth term).
So, if we do NOT combine like terms, we have five (5) terms altogether.
If we DO combine like terms, we end up with two (2) terms:
m -7m + 4 + 2 + 6, or -6m + 12, or two (2) terms.
Answer:
250%
Step-by-step explanation:
(2 1/2) × 100%
= 250%
= 2.5
Answer:
a=5, b=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you simplify the equation, you get:
3ax +6 -4x -4b - 11x - 14 = 0 =>
3ax - 15x -4b -8 = 0
group together x's and constants:
(3a-15)x -8 -4b = 0
To make this 0 for all x, we have to find an a such that 3a-15 = 0 and b such that -8-4b = 0. this leads to a=5, b=-2
