Answer:

D. The expression 5 y plus 2 y is equivalent to 15 y minus 8 y.

Step-by-step explanation:

first we unite like terms from the given problem, 15y - 8y which gives 7y

next we compare that answer to the two options, so 5y + 2y is 7y

BUT 9y - 3y is actually equal to 6y

so based on the A, B, C, D choices, D is the only one that says a correct statement

remember that like terms are numbers that have the same letters, all of them, so for example:

like terms:

5x, 11x

3ab, 18ab

and other numbers that have the same letters (can't remember the actual name right now)

non like terms:

6y, 3a

3y, 16xy

so if the letters don't match, they're not like terms

Belle's Cupcakes recently sold 6 pistachio cupcakes and 8 other cupcakes. Considering this data, how many of the next 56 cupcake
VikaD [51]

Answer: 24 pistachios cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

They recently sold 6 pistachio cupcakes and 8 other cupcakes.

Then we can model this with the ratio 6:8

This means that for each 6 pistachio cupcakes sold, they also sell 8 of another type of cupcakes.

Whit this info, if they sell 56 cupcakes, how many of them will be pistachio cupcakes?

Using the ratio above, we must find a number N such that:

N*6 + N*8 = 56.

N*(6 + 8) =  56

N*14 = 56

N = 56/14 = 4.

This means that:

out of the 56 cupcakes, 4*6 = 24 are pistachios cupcakes

                                        4*8 = 32 are other cupcakes.

Then you should expect that 24 out of the 56 cupcakes are pistachios cupcakes.
