1. By combining like terms
2. Same variable = same term, so you can combine them
3. Because 2y - y = 1y , and 1y is the same as y because a y is one y (obviously)
4. 1/2 + 1/2 = 1. A half an x and a half an x makes one whole x, therefore, x
5. No. You solve them like you would a normal equation with like terms. So it would be 3z^2
Hopefully these are right, I’m a bit rusty!
6. 4x
7. 3y
8. y - 4.5
9. 3.5x + 2
10. 4y + 2
11. 7x
12. 2.2w - 0.5
13. 23b + 6.6
14. 3.75x + 1.5
15. 0.8x + 2.1
Good luck, I hope this helped
So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is to add the exponents together. Applying this rule here would look like this:

In short, your simplified expression is going to be -16x^7y^6.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The Exponential Product rule tells us that...

Therefore,
.
Therefore, 
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 sides, and 7 is one of them. Therefore, there is a 1/12 chance of it landing on that side if it is a fair cube.
let's set up an equation:
x-4=9
solve normally:
x=13
