1 answer:
zysi [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x

NOTE: You can only add/subtract LIKE terms . Here we have  variable terms in x  (13x , 17x and x) and 2 constants ( 5 and 4.5).

Sarah's next line is

18x + 17x - 4.5 + x

This is incorrect . It looks like she  added 13x + 5 and got 18x!! Which is of course wrong because they are NOT LIKE terms. 5 is a constant and 13x is a variable term in x.

The third line is correct:-

35x - 4.5 + x.

She has added the 2 variables 17x and 18x.

Fourth line  is  30.5x + x. She's at it again - Trying to subtract 4.5 from 35x .

Last line 31.5x

She has added  the 2 terms in x correctly, but the final answer is wrong of course due to the earlier errors.

If a new car is valued at $26,000 and 10 years later it is valued at $7000, then what is the average rate of change
frez [133]

Answer:

The change in value is 19,000 altogether and 1900/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Change in value:

initial value - final value

= $26,000 - $7000

= $19,000

Change in value/year:

change in value/time

= $19,000/10

A bag has 14 yellow Marbles and 6 red marbles half of the red marbles are made of plastic a marble is selected at random from th
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

There is a 3/20 chance that a red plastic marble will be taken out on random.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there are 14 yellow marbles, and 6 red marbles. Along with this, half of the red marbles are made out of plastic. This leaves 3/6 of the red marbles made out of plastic. When combined with the yellow marbles, you'll add 14 to the denominator, since there are 14 yellow marbles. (Red + Yellow = Total Number Of Marbles) This leads to a total count of 3 marbles of the 20 total marbles, being red and made out of plastic.
