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. :)

Answer:

14w=-84

divide by 14

w= -84/14

w=-6

What is the difference between the range of the electoral votes per state and the modal number of electoral votes in the followi
-Dominant- [34]
The difference is 45.

The modal number of the electoral votes is 5 because it appears the most.

The range of the electoral votes is 55 - 5 = 50 (Highest minus the lowest).

The difference between the two is found by subtracting them.
50 - 5 = 45
