You add or subtract it for instance: 14x+258-52. You have to subtract 52 from 258 because of the symbol (-) in front of it. Since there is no other numbers with variables 14x is left alone. Hope this helps

You combine like terms if there are any on either side of the equal sign

Example: 4x + 3x + 5 = 8x + 2 + 3x

4x + 3x = 7x

7x + 5 = 8x + 2 + 3x

8x + 3x = 11x

7x + 5 = 11x + 2 <-- that would be the equation once all like terms are combined

The final answer will be negative because a positive divided by a negative is a negative. Let's condense this into...
-(158÷135)
How many 135s are in 158? One, because two "135s" (which is 270) is greater than 158, but 135 isn't. So we know the mixed number will be 1 + (a fraction). What's the Fraction? We can find this by subtracting 135 from 158, (158 - 135) = 23. The fraction is 23/158.

The answer is, -1, 23/158.

Naily [24]

Answer:

y=3x+5

Since it's already 5 cm we have +5

every month it would go up by 3 cm so we have 3 and x is to represent the # of months.
