Answer: Like terms are -7 and 2. Simplified version would be 7d-5.
Step-by-step explanation:
first you would distribute, so it would be 7(d-1)+2 = 7d-7+2. Combine like terms. The only like terms here are -7 and 2, so just basically subtract -7 from 2 and you would get -5. you can't do anything with 7d because there is no like term for it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p + n + d + q = 25
Put everything into quarters.
p and q are equally likely to be drawn
q + n + d + q = 25
There are 3 times as many nickels as quarters
n = 3q
q + 3q + d + q = 25
There is 25% more dimes than quarters.
d = 1.25 q
q + 3q + 1.25q + q = 25
6.25 q = 25
q = 25/6,25
=====================
q = 4
p = 4
d = 1.25 * 4 = 5
n = 12
18.8333333333is the answer
14/2 = 7
The answer can be either depending on it you have to reduce
