Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
9m - m + 3 = -2(m + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 8m + 3 = -2(m + 1)
- Distribute -2: 8m + 3 = -2m - 2
- Add 2m on both sides: 10m + 3 = -2
- Isolate <em>m</em> term: 10m = -5
- Isolate <em>m</em>: m = -1/2
-3^3 = -27
Step-by-step explanation:
Thats because -3^3 is (-3×3×3) not (-3×-3×-3) which we are multiplying a the constant not the the powers
3(2a+1)=-5(a+6)
First expand the brackets.
6a+3=-5a-30
Now add 5a to both sides.
11a+3=-30
Then subtract 3 from both sides.
11a=-33
Finally divide both sides by 11.
a=- 33/11
=-3
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms.
The power of a term is the sum of the powers of all the variables in a term.
A polynomial is written starting with the greatest power in standard form.
In the first case, the power of the first term is 3, the power of the second is 3 (2 from x + 1 from y) but the power of x has decreased so it is the second term, and then so on.
In the second case, the power is starting form 2 and then increasing to 3. This is incorrect.
Therefore, Marcus' suggestion is correct.
