Marcel and Floyd are playing games at an arcade. Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only p

laying $0.75 games. Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining. Jorge’s work is shown below.
Let x = the number of games played.

Equation: 8.25 minus 0.25 x = 9.75 minus 0.75 x. Step 1: negative 1.50 minus 0.25 x = negative 0.75 x. Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x. Step 3: negative 3 = x.


Jorge knows his answer is incorrect because it does not make sense to have a negative number of games. What is Jorge’s error?
The variable x should represent the amount of money left.
From Step 1 to Step 2, Jorge did not add 0.25x correctly to both sides.
The equation should have sums on both sides.
From Step 2 to Step 3, Jorge should have subtracted 0.50x from both sides.

Which expression can you simplify by combining like terms?
omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the degree and variables of two terms are same, then they are called like terms.

In option A.

The given expression is  

12b^2+4ab-3ba-6

Here, 4ab and -3ab are like terms because both have same variables a and b with degree 1.

By combining like terms we get

12b^2+(4ab-3ab)-6

12b^2+ab-6

In options B, C and D, there are no like terms, So only the expression 12b^2+4ab-3ba-6 we can simplify by combining like terms.

Therefore the correct option is A.
