That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
Answer:
-24x^7
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that (-2)^3 = -8, and so:
(-2 x^2 )^ 3 ·3 x = -8*x^6 * 3*x, or -24x^7
<span>The
missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell
which number is larger, you ned to see which one is missing less. For example
you have ¾ versus 4/5. Each of these fraction needs 1 to complete the whole. You
need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For ¾ we have ¼ and
for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 5 and for ¾
you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger
than ¾.</span>
Answer:
weight of legs - 7 ounces
weight of wings - 4 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of a chicken leg be represented by l
Let the weight of a chicken wing be represented by w
The total weight of Mr. Nguyen's package can be represented by this equation :
4l + 6w = 52
The total weight of Ms. Dawen's package can be represented by this equation :
3l + 6w = 45
To find the weight of the legs and wing, use simultaneous equation
4l + 6w = 52 eqn 1
3l + 6w = 45 eqn 2
Subtract equation 2 from 1
l = 7 ounces
Substitute for l in equation 1
4(7) + 6w = 52
28 + 6w = 52
Solve for w
w = 4 ounces
