The answer is B, C, and D. Like terms are terms with all the same variable, so 5x and -x are like terms.
C is correct. If we add -x to 5x, we get 4x. The other numbers remain unchanged because they have no like terms.
D is correct. Applying the rule of like terms, which is that like terms are numbers with the same variable, only add together numbers with the same variable.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

The answers is x =3 , x= -10
(5 + 2i)(1 + 3i)
5 * 1 = 5
5 * 3 = 15i
2i * 1 = 2i
2i * 3i = 6i^2
So we have...
5 + 15i + 2i + 6i^2
5 + 17i + 6i^2
In order....
6i^2 + 17i + 5
