How to solve 12ax-2ax+14x-2a+ -3x

That long, messy expression is not an equation and it's not a question,
so there's nothing to solve or answer.  However, it IS long and messy, so
your homework assignment might be to 'simplify' it.  Here's how:

<span>12ax - 2ax + 14x - 2a + -3x

Everything we'll do to this is called "combine like terms".  That means
"combine terms that are alike".  Terms are alike when they have the
same letter variables.
 
12ax  and  -2ax  are like terms.  Combine them, and you get  10ax .

14x  and  -3x  are like terms.  Combine them, and you get  11x .

So now we have:  10ax + 11x + 2a .

Nothing has been changed.  This shorter, simpler expression has
exactly the same value as the original long messy one has.  It has
just been cleaned up, and it looks neater and simpler.

You might also be expected to 'factor' the expression.  I don't know.
If you want to do that, then you could do it in 2 different ways . . .
either factor the 'x' from the two terms that have 'x' in them, or
else factor the 'a' from the two terms that have 'a' in them. 
Without explanation, here's how those would look:

           x(10a + 11) + 2a
or     
           a(10x + 2) + 11x .

Again, nothing has changed.  Both of these have the same value, and
their value is the same as the value of the long messy expression in
the question.

love history [14]

Answer:

Solution

Here,

Principle(p)=$35000\\Rate(r)=2%\\\\Time(t)=9 years

Now, Interest(I)=\frac{PTR}{100}

                            =\frac{35000*2*9}{100}\\= $3600

If f(x)=-2x+9, then find the value of the x value that makes F(x)=-22
Lostsunrise [7]
-22 = -2x + 9
-31 = -2x
-31/-2 = x
x = 15.5

1. For the function f(x) = 5, determine each of the following values.
Bess [88]

Answer:

f(4) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5.

Whatever value of x you input to the function , the function's value is always 5.

This is seen when you examine the graph of f(x) = 5. It is a straight horizontal line passing through y = 5. For every value of x along the line, f(x) = y = 5.
