Answer:
3t +2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to combine the like terms, you look at the constants and the variables. A variable has a letter in it. When looking at this expression, you find that there are two variables, 4t and -t. You then simplify these variables, getting 3t because it is 4t - t. Now, there is a two left, and since that ISN'T a variable, and is a constant, we can't do anything with it because we cannot combine it with anything else in the expression. Your guess was partially right ;)
Hope this helped!
The value of x is 4. The steps to solving the equation are to use distributive property first so that the equation then looks like this: 10x+20=5x+40
Next you would combine like terms and then the equation would look like this: 5x+20=40
Then you would use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 20 from 40 so your equation will now look like this: 5x=20
Then you use the division property of equality to divide 20 by 5 to get x=4
The approximate volume is 33.5103217
The exact volume is 32/3cm
so the answers would be 32/3 or 33.49
