To simplify, you just condense all of the values with the same variable, based on the signs of those values.
In this example,
6y + 5z + 8y - 3z
is the same as
6y + 8y + 5z - 3z
which can be simplified to
14y + 2z
which is the answer to your question.
Hope that helped =)
A- Veronica —> v=5+2m
Total —> v+m=32
B- since you already know that to get veronica’s number of stuffed animals, you need to use v=5+2m, you need to substitute it in the total equation. So it’ll be:
(5+2m)+m=32
(5+2m) represents veronica’s stuffed animals
m represents Mariposa’s stuffed animals
C- Mariposa —> 9
Veronica —> 23
Answer:
D
6 classes
Step-by-step explanation:
did it on khan :)
small number = x and large number = 2x + 9
x + 2x + 9 = 2(2x + 9 - x)
3x + 9 = 2x + 18
x= 9
2(9) + 9 = 27
Small number = 9 and large number = 27
