Example: 
We can see that there is more than one number with the variable x, therefore, we say they're ''like terms'' and because of that they can be summed. We do this with all of the other numbers with similar variables. If no numbers with similar variables are left, like 4a, you don't do anything but write them as they are. You can also see that 8 and 9 can also be summed because neither of them has a variable, therefore they're similar.
In this step, you just do the operation with the numbers and keep the same variable.


since there are not more numbers similar in variables, this operation is done.

The answer would be 8 dogs.
Answer:
(6, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:

X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached "technology" shows that about 0.8327 of the league will weigh 165 pounds or more. That number is ..
0.8327 × 120 members = 99.92 members ≈ 100 members
About 100 members of the league will weigh 165 pounds or more.
