Answer:
The value of x is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.
Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:
Both fractions are equal, so:
Applying cross multiplication:
The value of x is 3.
Answer: B) 3+y+3
This can be simplified to y+6, but the current un-simplified expression has 3 terms.
======================================
Explanation:
Terms are separated by a plus sign. If you had something like 10x-5y, then you would write that as 10x+(-5y) showing that 10x and -5y are the two terms.
Choices A and C, xy and 6y respectively, have one term each. They are considered monomials. Mono = one, nomial = name.
Choice D is the product of the constant 3 and the binomial y+3. Binomials have two terms.
Only choice B has three terms, though we can simplify it down to two terms. I have a feeling your teacher doesn't want you to simplify it.
