Answer: D. 8.50a + 6.75k + 1.75(a + k)
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of adult meal = $8.50
Cost of kid meal = $6.75
Cost of drink = $1.75
Number of adults = a
Number of kids = k
Since everyone orders a meal and
a drink, the expression that can be used to express the total cost of the meal will be:
Cost for adults:
= (8.50 × a) + (1.75 × a)
= 8.50a + 1.75a
Cost for kids:
= (6.75 × k) + (1.75 × k)
= 6.75k + 1.75k.
To get the total cost, we add the cost for adults and kids together. This will be:
= 8.50a + 1.75a + 6.75k + 1.75k.
= 8.50a + 6.75k + 1.75a + 1.75k
= 8.50a + 6.75k + 1.75(a + k)
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-5w^9.
Step-by-step explanation:
These two terms are what we call, 'like terms'. This means that they are terms whose variables and exponents are the same. 14w^9- 19w^9 have the variable w^9 in common.
In these cases, all we do is use the coefficients (the number in front of the variable). Hence, 14w^9- 19w^9, quite literally turns into, 14-19. If we complete the sum, 14-19= -5. Put it all together, we have -5w^9.
Hope this helps!
