Let number of senators = x, then:-

number of representatives = 5x - 25  so

x + 5x - 25 = 515
6x = 540
x = 90  
number of reps =  515 - 90 = 425

so there are 90 senators and 425 representatives.

Combine any like terms in the expression. If there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

40w^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant w^3 (w to the third power). In that case, you would just add 34 + 13 + 11 - 18 because they are all like terms (coefficients of w^3).

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13
S_A_V [24]
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
