B. If you multiply 1/12 by (-x) it's -1/12x and if you multiply 1/12 by (-4) it's -4/12 which is equivalent to -1/3.
Look at the picture......
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms.
The power of a term is the sum of the powers of all the variables in a term.
A polynomial is written starting with the greatest power in standard form.
In the first case, the power of the first term is 3, the power of the second is 3 (2 from x + 1 from y) but the power of x has decreased so it is the second term, and then so on.
In the second case, the power is starting form 2 and then increasing to 3. This is incorrect.
Therefore, Marcus' suggestion is correct.
Answer:
y = -4x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
y-6=-4(x+4)
1: distributive property
y-6= -4x - 16
2: add 6 both sides
y = -4x - 10
So k=katie's' age
m=mara's age
k is 2 times as old as m
k=2m
sum is 24
add means sum
k+m=24
so we have
k+m=24 and
k=2m
subsitute
2m+m=24
add
3m=24
divide both sides by 3
m=8
subsitute again
k=2m
k=2(8)
k=16
katie=16
mara=8
