Remove the brackets
-5a + 9b + 7a combine -5a and 7a
7a - 5a + 9b
2a + 9b Answer
Don't go any further. There is nothing else to do. These are unlike terms and cannot be reduced or combined.
I think is Y=5x+20
Hope you get it right!
:D
The answer is (b) y = 3x + 1
Hello!
Since D is the midpoint and the two equations are and both sides of point D the equations equal each other
9x - 7 = 3x + 17
Now you solve it algebraically
Add 7 to both sides
9x = 3x + 24
Subtract 3x from both sides
6x = 24
Divide both sides by 6
x = 4
Now we put this into both equations and add them
9(4) - 7 = 29
3(4) + 17 = 29
29 + 29 = 58
The answer is 58 units
Hope this helps!
