Write the expression in simplest form: 5n - 6 + n - 1

1 answer:

4 0

To write this equation in simplest form, we simply need to combine all like terms. The like terms in this particular expression are the terms with an n-variable and the terms with no variable. So we can combine them to simplify our expression.

5n - 6 + n - 1

First step, we can reorder our terms so that like terms are near each other

5n + n - 6 - 1

Now we can combine easily

(5n + n) - (6 - 1)

6n - 5

And that is your simplified expression.

5n - 6 + n - 1 in simplest form is 6n - 5.
Hope that helped! =)

I need help -3x=x-(6-2x)?

USPshnik [31]

<span>Simplifying 3x + 6 = 2x
Reorder the terms: 6 + 3x = 2x
Solving 6 + 3x = 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. 6 + 3x + -2x = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x 6 + 1x = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 6 + 1x = 0
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 1x = 0 + -6
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 1x = 0 + -6 1x = 0 + -6
Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6 1x = -6
Divide each side by '1'. x = -6
Simplifying x = -6
</span>so the answer is x =-6

How do you solve a system of linear equations by graphing?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.

<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.

What is equivalent to 3 radical 8

liq [111]

Answer:

C. 8^x/3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to algebraic principles, if n is the root of a number, then that number to the power of 1/n is equal to it. This would mean that n√a = a^1/n.

This would mean that 3√8 = 8^1/3. When there is a power added to a radical expression such as this, that power will go on the denominator. So (3√8)^2 for example is equal to 8^2/3, and in your case, (3√8)^x = 8^x/3

looking back on the fact that this was added 2 days ago i dont think this helped on your quiz

Answer:

The three numbers are 341, 342, and 343

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 1026. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1026

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1026

3X + 3 = 1026

3X + 3 - 3 = 1026 - 3

3X = 1023

3X/3 = 1023/3

X = 341

Which means that the first number is 341, the second number is 341 + 1 and the third number is 341 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1026 are 341, 342, and 343.

341 + 342 + 343 = 1026

We know our answer is correct because 341 + 342 + 343 equals 1026 as displayed above.
