5k3-3k+7-(-2k3+k2-9)
basically rewrite with simple algebra principles
15k-3k+7-(-6k+2k-9)
split up the parenthesis
15k-3k+7+6k-2k+9
sort them
15k-3k+6k-3k+7+9
short down by adding up the similar factors
answer: 18k+18
factorise
18(k+1)
both forms are right
You can't change the sum by changing the grouping. Any way you cut it, you will always get 226, as you only have addition operations, and the commutative property [a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c] means that the sum will always be the same.
P would equal -3/7

Answer:
Equation: 
Solution: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "t" the number of movie tickets bought by the group of friends.
According to the information given in the exercise, the price of each movie ticket is: $8.50.
Then, you can represent the amount (in dollars) the group of friends spent in movie tickets, with this expression:

You know that one person spent $6.50, then the expression that represents the total amount (in dollars) the group of friends spent in food and movie tickets, is:

Since that total amount spent is given in the exercise, you can write the following equation to determine how many tickets were bought:

Finally, you can solve for "t" in order to find the solution of the equation. This is:

6/8 then 3/4 so your answer is 3/4 cause you can simply by 2
