Answer:
Explanation:
To simplify a polynomial, we have to do two things: 1) combine like terms, and 2) rearrange the terms so that they're written in descending order of exponent.
First, we combine like terms, which requires us to identify the terms that can be added or subtracted from each other. Like terms always have the same variable (with the same exponent) attached to them. For example, you can add 1 "x-squared" to 2 "x-squareds" and get 3 "x-squareds", but 1 "x-squared" plus an "x" can't be combined because they're not like terms.
Let's identify some like terms below.
f(x)=−4x+3x2−7+9x−12x2−5x4
Here you can see that -4x and 9x are like terms. When we combine (add) -4x and 9x, we get 5x. So let's write 5x instead:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
Let's do the same thing with the x-squared terms:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
f(x)=5x−9x2−7−5x4
Now there are no like terms left. Our last step is to organize the terms so that x is written in descending power:
f(x)=−5x4−9x2+5x−7

Answer is D.
28:44 is the ratio but you have to simplify it. Divide both by 4. 28 divided by 4 = 7; 44 divided by 4 = 11
Answer: 6 weeks
Step-by-step explanation: $54 x 6 = $324
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(x−1)=−2x+50
(6)(x)+(6)(−1)=−2x+50(Distribute)
6x+−6=−2x+50
6x−6=−2x+50
Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.
6x−6+2x=−2x+50+2x
8x−6=50
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.
8x−6+6=50+6
8x=56
Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.
8x
/8
=
56
/8
x=7
