How is adding and subtracting radical expressions similar to adding and subtracting variables ?????

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: To add or subtract radicals, the indices and what is inside the radical (called the radicand) must be exactly the same. If the indices and radicands are the same, then add or subtract the terms in front of each like radical. If the indices or radicands are not the same, then you can not add or subtract the radicals.

Betty saves 3 times as much as Ann. Charles save 390 less than Ann.. If Betty saves save 1330 more than Charles. how much does C

Igoryamba

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We let x be Ann's savings.

Betty saves 3 times as much as Ann.

This implies that Betty's savings in terms of x

$= 3x$

Charles save 390 less than Ann.

This implies Charles savings

$= x - 390$

Betty saves 1330 more than Charles.

This implies that when we deduct Charles savings from Betty's we have to get 1330.

Mathematical equation for the problem:

$3x - (x - 390) = 1330$

Expand :

$\implies 3x - x + 390= 1330$

$\implies 2x + 390= 1330$

Subtract 390 from both sides.

$\implies 2x + 390 - 390= 1330 - 390$

$\implies 2x=940$

Divide through by 2

$\implies \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{940}{2}$

$\implies x=470$

Hence Charles saving is

$x - 390 = 470 - 390 = 80$

So, I'm in 9th grade. We are learning slope, but I don't understand. Does anyone have a simple method that they could explain to

Mazyrski [523]

I always used rise over run. which is when you count up the y axis for run and count over on the x axis for the run. then take your rise over run and there is your slope.
