The answer is -5, -5 added by 5 cancels each other out. Then when you add 4x + 8x, you get 12x. So when you do 12x= -60, you get -5.
Hi there, AirConditioning,
The equation we will be using is linear, and takes the form y = slope*x+b, where slope is equivalent to the fireflies caught each minute.
y=total fireflies caught
You : y = 3m+13
Your Friend: ym+6
Fireflies caught each minute
You: 3
Your Friend: 4
3+4=7
A total of 7 fireflies each minute combined.

6,651,297,000 rounded to nearest hundred million = 6,700,000,000
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First let us evaluate the value of both the expressions.


a) Hence, Larry's claim that both the expressions are equivalent is wrong.
The evaluation of the expressions have been shown above. The second expression was obtained by swapping the addition and multiplication order and that created the difference.
b) Clearly,
520 > 264
Therefore,

is greater by the expression
by a value of 520 - 264 = 256.
