Explanation:

Combining like terms is commonly used to solve algebraic expressions. Like terms are those species or variables that are the same in any algebraic representation.

Different mathematical operations can be performed on like species. We can add, divide, multiply, subtract, factorize, etc those terms.

Take for example;

Solve;

5x + 3 = 4x + 6

To solve this simply collect the like terms;

5x and 4x, 3 and 6 are like terms

5x - 4x = 6 - 3

x = 3

This is one way of solving problems by collecting like terms.

The graph shows a reflection in the x-axis. The matrix M such that, for any point (x, y), M(x, y) = (x', y') is

Rashid [163]

Answer:

This is a reflection about the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection about the x-axis has the rule

[x,y]-> [x,-y].

Therefore

M[x,y] = [x,-y}

Let M=

|a b|

|c d|

Then the matrix multiplication gives

ax+by=x.............(1)

cx+dy=-y............(2)

Solving the previous equations (1) and (2) gives

a=1, b=0

c=0, d=-1

giving M as

|1 0|

|0 -1|

The Millers plan on retiring soon. When they were first married they purchased 1,000 shares in a mutual fund that was at that ti

kozerog [31]

Answer: There is 680% increase for the fund.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of shares they purchased = 1000

Cost of per share at the time of their marriage = $10

So, Amount of fund will be

$1000\times 10=\$10000$

Cost per share after 30 years = $78

So, Amount of fund will be

$78\times 1000=\$78000$

Percentage of increase for the fund will be given as

$\frac{78000-10000}{10000}\times 100=680\%$

Hence, there is 680% increase for the fund.
