So basically you just add the like terms to simplify the equation. You have 5q-p+p+1 you can cancel out the both p’s because one is negative and one is positive. That leaves you with 5q + 1 they are not like terms so you cannot simplify them so your simplified equation is 5q +1
Answer:
767 houses
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially there are 3212 houses in the city.
After the boom there are 3979 houses in the city.(due to boom there is an increase in the number of houses).
The number of houses developed by the developers is the difference between the number of houses before and after the boom.
The number of houses developed=3979-3212=767 houses
Equation:
Total cost = fixed costs + variable costs
2023 = 548 + 29.50x
Solution:
2023 - 548 = 29.50x
(2023 - 548)/29.50 = x
50 = x
