5 is a constant. (it has no variables)
x + 2 is not a constant. It does, however, have two terms, x and 2.
(terms are seperated by addition/subtraction)
This rules out a and b.
As for c... 5(x+2) implies <em>multiplication</em>, which would be a product, not a sum.
d. The product of a constant factor 5 and a 2-term factor x+2
The like terms would be the numbers that are the same.
9 and 3
Negative z and negative 2z
Hope I helped :)
Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x
Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
Answer:
steps
1) 14/28 to convert to a percent you have to first divide the numerator from the demoninator and then you multiply by 100 and you get get %50 (you could had known bc 14 is half of 28)
2) 5/28 do the same thing as the first step and get %17.85
-Feel free to ask for more help :)
Estimated round up $6000 and divide by $30(rounded up) = $200 each estimated
$5820÷28= $207.857.. so round up to $208
