Answer:
1) 15a - 15c + 3
2) -7n + 31 + 13m + 7p or 13m - 7n + 7p + 31
3) 44x + 6y + 3
4) 9m - 6n + 23
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Add like terms. 6a + 9a=15a. -8c - 7c=-15c
2. Add like terms. You can rearrange them in descending order based off of exponents and variables.
3. Multiply what's in parentheses first (distribute the 6). It should end up being (6y + 42x). Then you add like terms and put in descending order.
4. Distribute the (-3) to what in the parentheses. It should end up being (-6n + 15 - 3m). Then you add like terms and put the expression in descending order.
Louann= 14x+24
Carla= 16x+14
So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it.
First attempt:
14(7)+24=16(7)+14
98+24=112+14
122=126
Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x.
Second attempt:
14(6)+24=16(6)+14
84+24=96+14
108=110
So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5.
So now I going to do 5 for x
Third attempt:
14(5)+24=16(5)+14
70+24=80=14
94=94
And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D
Hello,
If you lose 3 pounds per week, after 3 weeks you lose (3)(3) = 9 pounds.
The change in your weight is represented by the integer 9 (pounds).
Hope this helps!
11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2
12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14
13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5
14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10
⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒ y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2
15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
The answer would be 26 due to the fact that it’s just nearly above the 25 mark
