How do you simplify -5x-x+14x-3x

You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said

-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .

You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say

5 cows .

When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.

Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.

In a survey, 200 people were asked if they smoke and whether or not they exercise regularly (more than twice a week). The result

siniylev [52]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. % of people who smoke = no. of people who smoke ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100

Total no. of people who smoke is given = 4 + 36 = 40

Total people surveyed = 200

% of people who smoke = $\frac{40}{200}*100 = \frac{40}{2}*1 = 20 percent$

a. % of people who do not exercise regularly = no. of people who do not exercise regularly ÷ total no. of people surveyed × 100

Total no. of people who do not exercise regularly = 36 + 134 = 170

Total people surveyed = 200

% of people who smoke = $\frac{170}{200}*100 = \frac{170}{2}*1 = 85percent$

Help finding angles 4, 3 ,2 ,5... Picture attached this time

Korvikt [17]

Angle 3 = 180° - 70°

Angle 3 = 110°

Angle 2 = 180° - (110° + 36°)

Angle 2 = 180° - 146°

Angle 2 = 34°

Angle 4 = 180° - 70°

Angle 4 = 110°

Angle 5 = 180° - (110° + 62°)

Angle 5 = 180° - 172°

Angle 5 = 8°

I hope this helps.
