Answer:

Like terms are terms that have the same variable. For example, 8x and 2x are like terms. They have the same variable and that makes them like. If we happened to change 2x to 2s, then the two terms 8x and 2s would be unlike. All you do to solve is add normally UNLESS they are unlike in which you have to keep it the same.

Factor the trinomial into binomials then solve?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

x = -10, x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +5x - 50 = 0

What two number multiply to -50 and add to 5

10 * -5 = -50

10 + -5 = 5

( x+10) (x-5) =0

Using the zero product property

x+10 =0 x-5 =0

x+10-10 =0-10 x-5+5=0+5

x= -10 x =5

Paul has 2/3 as many postcards as Shawn. The number of postcards Shawn has is 4/5 of the number of postcards Tim has. If the thr

ahrayia [7]

Tim has 56 more postcards than Paul.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total postcards boys have = 280

Let,

x = Paul's postcards

y = Shawn's postcards

z = Tim's postcards

According to given statement;

x + y + z = 280 Eqn 1

$x=\frac{2}{3}y$ Eqn 2

$y = \frac{4}{5}z$ Eqn 3

Putting value of y from Eqn 3 in Eqn 2

$x=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{4}{5}z\\\\x=\frac{8}{15}z$ Eqn 4

Putting value of x and y from Eqn 4 and Eqn 3 in Eqn 1

$\frac{8}{15}z+\frac{4}{5}z+z=280\\\\\frac{8z+12z+15z}{15}=280\\\\\frac{35z}{15}=280\\\\$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{15}{35}$

$\frac{15}{35}*\frac{35}{15}z=280*\frac{15}{35}\\z=120$

Putting z=120 in Eqn 3

$y=\frac{4}{5}*120\\y=96$

Putting y=96 in Eqn 2

$x=\frac{2}{3}*96\\x=64$

Difference of Tim and Paul = 120-64 = 56

Tim has 56 more postcards than Paul.
