Step-by-step explanation:
Like Terms: Terms that have identical variable parts (same variable(s) and same exponent(s)). When simplifying using addition and subtraction, you combine “like terms” by keeping the "like term" and adding or subtracting the numerical coefficients.
Let the number of bags that he would have been used to put 3 kg of apples be x. Thus the number of bags that would be used to put 2kgs will therefore be (x+9), hence the total number of kgs the bags will hold will be given by:
3*x=3x kgs
2(x+9)=(2x+18) kgs
since the total weights are the same then:
2x+18=3x
hence
18=3x-2x
18=x
thus the number of bags required to put 3 kgs of apples will be 18. Thus the total Kgs of apples was:
3x
=3*18
=54 kgs
Start at 5 on the y axis then go down four and over 1
No she did the Division wrong because she got 5 1/2 for her multiplication it so she should recheck and try the multiplication over to get the answer right
