Logical u would think it would be 1/6 but not all the pieces are equal so i would go with 1/8
Add alike terms. Basically you add stuff together with the same variable! Since -8y and +3y have a y variable, they can be added together. Same with x.
-8y + 3y = -5y. This is because you’re adding 3 from a negative number.
5x - 9x = -4x. You’re subtracting 9 from a positive number.
That is as simple as it can get, so you put those two numbers in the same equation.
The simplest expression is:
-5y - 4x

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 71 in House of Representatives
- 17 in Senate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...
h + s = 88
h - s = 54
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)
2s = 34 . . . . . simplify
s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2
h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation
There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.
