You can sum like terms. Two terms can be summed if they are both constants (i.e. pure numbers) or if they involve the same powers of the same variable.

In this case, 3x and 13x can be summed because they both involve 'x' alone. The sum is

$3x+13x = (3+13)x = 16x$

As for the other two terms, you simply have to sum two numbers, as usual:

$-9-6 = -15$

So, the final answer is

$16x-15$

Answer:

Answers may vary but will most likely be close to 2.

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

first test:38%

second test:76%

SIMULATION FIRST TEST

Randomly select a 2-digit number.

If the digit is between 00 and 35 then you passed the test,else you did not pass the test.

SIMULATION SECOND TEST

Randomly select a 2-digit number.

if the digit is between 00 and 75 then you passed the test,else you did not pass the test.

SIMULATION TRIAL

Perform the simulation of the first test.if you did not pass the first test then perform the simulation of the second test.

Record the number of trials needed to pass the first or second test.

Repeat 20 times and take the average of the 20 recorded number of trials

(what is the sum of recorded values divided by 20).

Note:you will most likely obtain a result of about two trials needed.
