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.

What is the graph of the inequality 3x+2y>-5

Doss [256]

Answer:

The graph with solution is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the $x-intercept$ and $y-intercept$ for given equation.

For $x-intercept$ , substitute $y=0$

Considering inequality sign as equality and simplifying,

$3x+2y=-5\\3x+0=-5\\x=-\frac{5}{3}$ , point is $(-\frac{5}{3} ,0)$

Similarly,

For $y-intercept$ , substitute $x=0$

We get,

$3x+2y=-5\\0+2y=-5\\y=-5/2$ , point is $(0,-\frac{5}{2})$

We locate this two points on the graph now and join them.

The joining line will be dotted as the inequality has just 'greater than' symbol. The region above the dotted line is the solution to graph.
