Example: 
We can see that there is more than one number with the variable x, therefore, we say they're ''like terms'' and because of that they can be summed. We do this with all of the other numbers with similar variables. If no numbers with similar variables are left, like 4a, you don't do anything but write them as they are. You can also see that 8 and 9 can also be summed because neither of them has a variable, therefore they're similar.
In this step, you just do the operation with the numbers and keep the same variable.


since there are not more numbers similar in variables, this operation is done.

Answer:
The correct answer is d) the ratio of the change in y to the change in x along the line.
We can tell this by looking at the slope formula.
m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Answer:
v = 1/(1+i)
PV(T) = x(v + v^2 + ... + v^n) = x(1 - v^n)/i = 493
PV(G) = 3x[v + v^2 + ... + v^(2n)] = 3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i = 2748
PV(G)/PV(T) = 2748/493
{3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i}/{x(1 - v^n)/i} = 2748/493
3[1-v^(2n)]/(1-v^n) = 2748/493
Since v^(2n) = (v^n)^2 then 1 - v^(2n) = (1 - v^n)(1 + v^n)
3(1 + v^n) = 2748/493
1 + v^n = 2748/1479
v^n = 1269/1479 ~ 0.858
