Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: 2s+(−4s)=?

Mathematics

Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago

Answer:

2s+\left(-4s\right)=-2s is the equivalent expression as 2s+\left(-4s\right) is equal to -2s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

2s+\left(-4s\right)

As we know that

  • Like terms are said to be the terms which hold the same variables raised to the same power.
  • For example, 3x and 2x are like terms as they contain the same variable x raised to the same power.

Lets solve the expression

2s+\left(-4s\right)

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a

2s-4s

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:terms:}\:2s-4s=-2s

-2s

Therefore,

2s+\left(-4s\right)=-2s is the equivalent expression as 2s+\left(-4s\right) is equal to -2s.

The population of the small town of Parks in 2000 was estimated to be 3,901 people with an annual rate of decrease of about 1.8%
trasher [3.6K]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The estimated population in 2013 is </em><em>3081.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

This can be represented as exponential decreasing function,

y=a(1 - r)^t

Where,

  • a = starting amount
  • r = rate
  • t = years

Putting the values,

y=3901(1 - 0.018)^{13}

=3901(0.982)^{13}

=3901\times 0.7897

=3080.62

As population can not be in fraction, so after rounding off the estimated population in 2013 is 3081.

How does an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 compare in intensity with an earthquake of magnitude of 3.7 on the Richter​ scale? The l
Andre45 [30]
We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2 
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.

Are these all correct?
sladkih [1.3K]
Problem 1) Line n is the line of symmetry (not line o) because we can fold the lower half to match up with the upper half. The folding line is over line n.

Problem 2) I agree. Nice work on getting the correct answer. The folding line is a vertical line through the center

Problem 3) It's hard to say for sure, but I think the top left corner is NOT reflective over any line of symmetry no matter how you rotate it. So I would uncheck that box. I agree with your other choices though. Great job with those.

State the slope of the line perpendicular to the line -2x+5y=12
defon

Answer:

- 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange this line equation into y = mx + b form   m = slope

 y = 2/5x + 12/5    

  then perpindicular line = - 1/m   = - 1/ (2/5) = - 5/2
