Answer:

The distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments from Big Bird's nest

is 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to an equation to solve the problem

- The information i the story problem is

# The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

# The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (5x + 4)

# The distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (15x - 30)

* Now lets solve

∵ The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

∴ The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest = The

   distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest

∴ 5x + 4 = 15x - 30

- Collect the variable terms in one side and the numerical terms

 in th other side

∴ 15x - 5x = 30 + 4 ⇒ add

∴ 10x = 34

∴ x = 34 ÷ 10 = 3.4

* Now lets find the distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments

from the Big Bird's nest

- We can use any relation to find the distance

∵ The distance = 5x + 4

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 5(3.4) + 4 = 17 + 4 = 21 miles

You can check the answer by using second equation

∵ The distance = 15x - 30

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 15(3.4) - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21 miles

Find the degree of the monomial.<br><br> -1.75k2
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The degree of this monomial is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the degree of a monomial (or a polynomial, binomial) is equal to the degree (exponent) of the term in the monomial. In polynomials, it would be the degree of the term with the HIGHEST degree.

-1.75k^2

The exponent is two, so the degree is two.

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:1)5x^2-11x

             2) x^2-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1)(f+g)(x)

f(x)=3x-7

g(x)= 2x-4

[(3x-7)+(2x-4)](x)

3x^2-7x+2x6^2-4x

=<u>5x^2-11x</u>

2) (f-g)(x)

[(3x-7)-(2x-4)](x)

(3x-7-2x+4)(x)

3x^2-7x-2x^2+4x

x^2-3x
