To add expressions, you should take note that you can only
combine same terms which means they have the same degree of exponents.
-5x^4 + 6x^3 – 43 + 6x^5 – x^2 + 12x + 12
In this expression, you can only combine the constants
because they are the only similar terms:
-5x^4 + 6x^3 + 6x^5 – x^2 + 12x + 12 – 43
-5x^4 + 6x^3 + 6x^5 – x^2 + 12x – 31
The standard form starts with the term with the highest
exponent so you just have to arrange the terms:
6x^5 - 5x^4 + 6x^3 – x^2 + 12x + 12
Answer:
x=-42 to check ur answer place it like this 7-(-42) =49 which is correct
Answer:
It's B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The length of AC = 13 (given).
Let the length of AE = x.
Then the length of EC = 13 x.
The ratio of AE to EC is 0.6.
Therefore

Cross multiply.
x = 0.6(13 - x)
x = 7.8 - 0.6x
1.6x = 7.8
x = 4.875
That is,
AC = 4.875
EC = 13 -x = 13 - 4.875 = 8.125
Answer:
E is located on AC such that
AC = 4.875
EC = 8.125
