You just combine the like terms.
6a+5a+2a = 13a
-b+-5b = -6b
13a-6b is the simplified version of the expression.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. Yes. The owner made a profit, because R > C when x = 183.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Calculate the revenue
R = 26.05x = 26.05 × 183 = 4767.15
(2) Calculate the cost
C = 1500 + 16.75x = 1500 + 16.75 ×183 = 1500 + 3065.25 = 4565.25
(3) Calculate the profit
 P = R – C = 4767.1 – 4565.25 = 201.90
P > 0. The owner made a profit, because R > C when x = 183.
In the graphs below, the red line represents costs and the blue line represents revenues.
We see that C > R until we reach the break-even point at 162 units. After 162 units, R > C, and the business makes a profit. This, making 183 units is profitable for the company.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The answer to your question is:
a) sun to jupiter =  4.838 x 10 ⁸ miles
    sun to earth = 9.296 x 10 ⁷ miles
b) 5.2 times
Step-by-step explanation:
distance sun to jupiter = 483 800 000 miles
distance sun to earth = 92 960 000 miles
a) 
       sun to jupiter =  4.838 x 10 ⁸ miles  just move the decimal point eight places to the left.
       sun to earth = 9.296 x 10 ⁷ miles   just move the decimal point seven places to the left.
b) 
divide distance sun to jupiter by distance sun to earth = 
                                   = 4.838 x 10 ⁸ / 9.296 x 10 ⁷
                                  
First divide   4.838 by 9.296    or   4.838 / 9.296 = 0.52
Then we substract the powers:  8 minus 7  or 8 -7 = 1
So we get              0.52 x 10¹  or 0.52 x 10 = 5.2 times
 
        
             
        
        
        
Let's check
3m - 9 = 9+3m
collect like terms
3m -3m = 9 + 9
0m = 18
which is not possible, so it will not have any solutions
