Hey there!
Let's set up our expression:
(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)
In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:
7a-6b+7-8a+2
Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:
(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =
-a - 6b + 9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
8x^3-7x^2-11x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
(8x^3-5x-1)-(7x^2+6x-10)
remove unnesasary ( )
8x^3-5x-1 -(7x^2+6x-10)
the distribute
8x^3-5x-1 -7x^2-6x+10
combine like terms
8x^3-11x+9-7x^2
use the communative property to reorder the equation
8x^3-7x^2-11x+9
4000 (4x10^3) times 400 (4x10^2) is equal to 16x10^5 ( 1,600,000)
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
Answer:
R = (3P-30)/8
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 30 from each side to get:
P-30 =
R
multiply each side by
to get:
· P - 30 = R
R = (3P-30)/8
