Question

Can You Help Me With numbers 6-8

Answer 1

Hello,

Your answers and explanations are below.

6 - 5xy

5 times the product of x and y. The product of x and y means to multiply. That is where we get this: xy. 5 times that product is where we add 5 to it and get this: 5xy.

7 - 4x

We get this because we know he gets $4 an hour. We just do not know how many hours he babysat. The hours is X and we multiply that by 4.

8 - 5.5

Take 8.3 and subtract 2.8 to find x. Once we do that we get 5.5, and that is X.

9 - We can't see the problem. It's cut off

Good Luck,
