Answer:
−14.2b+3.36d−216.05
Step-by-step explanation:
collect terms:(−14.2b−97.35)+((6.76d−3.4d)−118.7)
simplify: −14.2b−97.35+3.36d−118.7
terms: −14.2b+3.36d+(−97.35−118.7)
simplify: −14.2b+3.36d−216.05
This would look like 6x/11. Since the problem doesn’t state the answer then you would simply write the expression.
Answer:
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Dally's age = x
Dilly's age = x - 7
In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:
Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,
replacing with the values and variables we know:
x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2
x - 3 = (x + 4) /2
2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)
x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
is multiplied with 1, we get the value
is 1.5 and the value of 5 are both greater than 0.6. So the third and fourth options cannot be the answer. So
is the answer.
