Answer:
Im losted
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+3y+6x+9y
All you'd need to do is combine like terms. So add 5x to 6x and add 3y to 9y.
(5x+6x)+(3y+9y)
Final Answer: 11x + 12y

Answer:
$125 per year
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 2 years from 2015 to 2017, the spending on lunches increased by ...
$800 -550 = $250
That is an average per year of ...
$250/(2 yr) = $125/yr . . . . average dollar increase per year

<em>Additional comment</em>
For costs, it is often true that they follow an exponential curve, not a linear one. Ed's spending increased by a factor of 800/550 = 16/11 in the two years, so an average percentage increase of √(16/11) -1 = 20.6% per year.
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
