Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

So he got , 
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
The answer is the 3rd one: 7n-2p
Slope: -4/10 = 4/-10

You would use the = sign because
8+7-2^2=3^2+2
they both equal 11
Answer:
$1946
Step-by-step explanation:
His average for the first four months
= $1,450.25
So he earned 4*$1,450.25
= $5801 for the first four months.
Then for the year his average is $1,780.75.
So he earned $1,780.75*12 for the year.
=$ 21369
So the amount he earned for the remaining 8 months was 21369-5801
= $15568
The average for the 8 Months= 15568/8
= $1946
