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.

kondaur [170]

To the nearest percentage point, what percentage of students who play a sport don’t play a musical instrument?

First, using the information given, fill out the chart with the rest of the data (in the image attached)

Then find the number of students who play a sport and don’t play a musical instrument, which in the chart is 11

Place 11 over the total: \frac{11}{25} and convert to a percentage:

44%

The 10 participants in an experiment had the following reaction times ( in milliseconds ) : 778,783,784,786,790,804,807,810,819,
Nata [24]

Answer:

Mean. It includes all data points.

Step-by-step explanation:

-We first need to calculate the mean, median and mode then compare our values:

#Mean:

\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\\\=\frac{1}{10}\sum{778+783+784+786+790+804+807+810+819+823}\\\\=\frac{1}{10}\times \\\\=798.40

#The median is the middlemost data point in a lsit data:

778,783,784,786,790,804,807,810,819,823

-Since our data points is an even number, the median number is calculated as:

median=\frac{1}2}\sum{5^{th}+6^{th}}\\\\=0.5[790+804]\\\\=797.00

#Mode is the data point with the highest frequency:

-Since there's no number appearing more than once, our set has no mode.

#Since our data set has no outliers and is not a skewed distribution, the mean will be the best measure as it includes all data points
