For this case, we have the following expression:
We simplify the expression:
If we add similar terms, taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the greater one is placed, we have that
So, we have to:
Answer:
-3x + x + 5 = -2x + 5
we are given
In A 4 year period, About 80,000 acres of coastal wetlands in United States are lost each year.
so, total area =80000 acres
total time = 4 years
now, we can use formula
total change in wetlands = ( total area)/(total time)
now, we can plug values
total change in wetlands is
