Hey there!
Let's set up our expression:
(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)
In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:
7a-6b+7-8a+2
Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:
(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =
-a - 6b + 9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Week 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Ben has $250 in the beginning. He saves $150 per week.
y = 150x + 250
Tim has $1,650 in the beginning. He spends $200 per week.
y = 1650 - 200x
We are trying to find which x-value produces the same y-value for both equations. You can do this by setting both equations equal to each other.
150x + 250 = 1650 - 200x
(150x + 250) + 200x = (1650 - 200x) + 200x
350x + 250 = 1650
(350x + 250) - 250 = (1650) - 250
350x = 1400
(350x)/350 = (1400)/350
x = 4
By week 4, they will have the same amount of money.
