Answer: 7x+y+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining like terms is just like what it sounds. You take the like terms, or terms that have the same variables and such, and add them together.

For this problem, we can see that 12x and -5x are like terms because they both consist of a numerical coefficient and the variable x.

We can see that -3y and 4y are like terms because they both have a numerical coefficient and y for variable.

Now, we can combine like terms.

12x-3y+8-5x+4y                     [combine like terms]

7x+y+8

-9=-3(x+2)<br>solve for x <br>show steps
lianna [129]

SimplifyOkie dokie so first things first, you have to get rid of those parentheses! To do this you use the distributive property. -3(x+2) is the same thing as -3(x)+-3(2). that and you get -9=-3x-6. So you want to get x by itself to be able to find what x is, so you add 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -6. So then you get -3=-3x. Then you must divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which would be -3. When you divide both sides by -3 you get -3/-3=x, which is the same thing as 1=x. Hope this helped!

rewrite f(x)=x^2+8x-20 in the form that would most easily help you identify the zeros of the function
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

f(x) = (x-2) (x+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+8x-20

Factor the right hand side

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to 8

-2 * 10 = -20

-2 + 10 = 8

f(x) = (x-2) (x+10)

Then we can use the zero product property to help us to find the zero's
