Combine like terms to simplify the expression below 5y-8x-y+12x

1 answer:

There are like terms 5y and y. Since there is a subtraction sign in front of y, we would subtract that from 5y, which becomes 4y. 8x and 12x are also like terms (x). Since 12x has an addition sign in front, indicating it's positive, we would add it to -8x (which is negative b/c of the subtraction sign in front). 12x + -8x = 4x. The expression is 4y + 4x.

Hope this helps!

Dan earns $8.25 an hour and works 20 hours a week. How much will he earn in three weeks?

maksim [4K]

Okay. So first 8.25 * 20 = 165. Then you multiply 165 by 3 (165*3). 165 * 3 = 495.
Dan will earn $495 in three weeks.

Help please (●´⌓`●)

Triss [41]

Answer: $39ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a rectangle missing a piece which looks like a triangle.

Find the area of the rectangle and subtract the area of the triangle.

Rectangle:

$A=l*w\\A=(9ft)(5ft)\\A=45ft^2$

Triangle:

$A=\frac{hb}{2}\\ A=\frac{(3ft)(4ft)}{2}\\ A= \frac{12ft^2}{2}\\ A=6ft^2$

Now subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

$45ft^2-6ft^2=39ft^2$
