The answer will be x^3-5. Hope it help!
I believe you just have to draw 2 little lines in between AB and CD.
Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.
$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75
Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.
$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25
So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.
Check step:
If you add it all back together:
Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50
The first expression can be simplified by combining like terms.
First, the terms "4b" and "-3b" can be combined to form "b"
Then, the terms "-7" and "9" can be combined to form "2"
Finally, we simply put these two final terms together, to form "b+2"
Hence, 4b-7-3b+9 is equal to be + 2.
Hope this helps!
