Answer:

w = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms would be "terms" with the same variable. 5x and 4x would be like terms, because they have the same variable of x. 6y and 2x would not be like terms, because they have different variables (6y has the variable of y and 2x has the variable of x).

When combining like terms, we would add up the coefficients of the variables and then multiply that by the variable:

4x + 6x = (4 + 6)x = 10x

In other words:

ax + bx = (a + b)x

where x is any variable and a and b are constants.

We are given the equation:

10w + 4w = -84

and we have to solve the equation. To do this, we must first combine the like terms. And than we would try to get the equation into the for "w = _".

10w + 4w = -84

Combine the like terms 10w and 4w.

(10 + 4)w = -84

Simplify.

14w = -84

Divide both sides by 14 to get rid of the coefficient of 14 on the left side.

w = (-84) ÷ 14

Simplify.

w = -6

The solution would be w = -6.

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

I was at the store, and saw two sizes of avocados being sold. The regular size sold for $0.84 each. For what prices would the la
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.

Then note the following:

1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?

This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.

If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

The area of a rhombus is 72 m2. One<br> diagonal is 18m. Find the other diagonal.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Other diagonal is 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rhombus = 72 m²

½ × diagonal 1 × diagonal 2 = 72

½ × 18 × d2 = 72

9 × d2 = 72

d2 = 72/9

d2 = 8
