Answer:

-9a + b

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let us factor out the variable a from the terms containing the variable, and apply addition and the distributive property to simplify the terms.

-5a - 4a + b

= a ( -5 + -4 ) + b

= a ( -9 ) + b

= -9a + b

Hence, the simplified expression for -5a - 4a + b is -9a + b.

Cheers.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

old town has 150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps in the old tower be m

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending

For climbing, time spent = m/3

For descending time spent = m/2

Since it took her 25 longer when descending;

This means that;

m/2 - m/3 = 25

(3m-2m)/6 = 25

m/6 = 25

m = 6 * 25

m = 150 steps

Break-even point in units= 120 / (25 - 10)

Break-even point in units= 8 hours

To break-even, Zorah needs to play for 8 hours.
