Brad is correct.
Polynomials do not include negative exponents; this means there can be no variables in the denominator. If two polynomials do not divide evenly, the remainder is written as a fraction with the divisor (which can include a variable) in the denominator. This is not a polynomial.
Y = kx (from definition of "varies directly")
if you know x, find k, then you will find y
Because Meg gets an additional 6 ponies, she adds them to her existing 26 ponies. This makes her have 32 ponies.
(CHECK: 26+6=32, 32-6=26)
Since she displays half of her 32, that means 16 of her ponies are on display.
(CHECK: 32/2=16, 16+16=32)
Hopefully this helps!! :)
K=5
Explanation: you have to rearrange the terms to make the problem look easier to solve then you have you subtract 2 from both sides of the equation then once you get that you have to simplify your answer (combine like terms) then after you divide both sides by 2 and then you should get your answer which is 5 here is a picture of the steps if you don't get it Hope this helps!
