Answer:
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
simplify multiplied terms
(-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
(-4x^3+10x-8)
group like terms together
(5x^4-8x^4) + (-9x^3-4x^3) + (7x-3x+10x) + (-1+2-8)
simplify grouped terms
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7

y = x
Answer:
10 spiders and 12 ants
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to create two equations
s = # of spiders
a = # of ants
s + a = 22 heads
since each spider and ant has one head
8s + 6a = 152 legs
since every spider has 8 legs and every ant has 6
s + a = 22 can be turned into s = 22 - a
now use substitution
8(22 - a) + 6a = 152
176 - 8a + 6a = 152
176 - 2a = 152
24 = 2a
a = 12
now that you have the number of ants you can solve for the number of spiders
s + a = 22
s + 12 = 22
s = 10
