Step-by-step explanation:
Well in general, we can represent subtraction as: 
"z" represents the difference, and it really just represents x with y taken away. So if we were to "give back" this y value, we should get "x".
This means that: 
So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.
6x - 9x - 5 =
combine like terms
6 - 9 = - 3
- 3x - 5 =
leave x by itself
- 3x - 5 =
+3x
___
0
- 5 = 3x
solve for x (division)
- 5 = 3x
___
3
-5/3 = x OR x = -5/3
2[5+2(8-6)]
2[5+2(2)]
2[5+4]
2[9]
18
Answer:
He and each of his sisters will recieve 1/4 of the pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + xy^2 + 5x - 2xy ok so once you can decode the sentence this is what it will look like. First you add the common facts which are 3x and 5x which = 8x ok so now we have 8x + xy^2 - 2xy so then I believe you cant do anything after that because there will be no more common factors hey can you tell me if I am write if you have already had turn this in please hope this helps
