The first parenthesis is $13z+8$ . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).

So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

$2z-13z-8$

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

$2z-(13z +8) = 2z-13z-8 = (2-13)z-8 = -11z-8$

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

$5z-(-11z-8) = 5z+11z+8 = (5+11)z+8=16z+8$

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.

Someone solve this for me please

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

x=2; y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral, which means three sides have the same length.

So we have：4x-y=2x+3y=7

$4x-y=2x+3y\\4x-y+y=2x+3y+y\\4x=2x+4y\\2x=4y\\x=2y\\$

Since 2x+3y=7 and plug in x=2y

we have

$2x+3y=7\\2(2y)+3y=7\\4y+3y=7\\7y=7\\y=1$

and since y=1

x=2
