Answer:
g = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7g + 5 = 2 – g – 7g
Combine like terms
-7g + 5 = 2 -8g
5 = 2 + -g
3 = -g
-3 = g
Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles
Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where ^ stands for raised to power.
Let
a stand for the train going towards North and
b stands for the train going towards east.
X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.
By Pythagoras rule
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
20^2 = 16^2 + b^2
400 = 256 + b^2 so that
b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144
b = √144
b = 12 miles.
You gather the like terms together.
if you have -3y +2x +6w -4 + 3y -5x +2w
you put the like terms together
so for the term y:
you have -3y +3y = 0
for x:
2x - 5x = -2x
for w:
6w + 2w = +8w
and you also had -4. if you put them together you get
0 -2x +8w -4
which is
-2x +8w -4
hope this helps
