Hey there!
On this problem, we have to combine like terms. A like term in this sense doesn't have to have the same coefficient, but it has to have the same variable.
Our like terms are 2m and 4m, along with 3 and 5.
When we add 2m and 4m we get 6m, and when we add 5 and 3 we get eight.
Notice how 5 and three are like terms because they're both whole numbers and don't have any variables.
Your solution is 6m + 8.
My advice to you is pay attention to your like terms and don't mix them up. A strategy is to underline like terms in the same color.
Hope this helps!
<span>20 - 12y
Simplify parentheses: 4 - 5y - 7y + 16
Combine similar terms: 4 + 16 - 5y - 7y
Simplify: 20 - 12y</span>
Lets x and y are the value of two numbers.
x + y = 16
x - y = 2.4
If x + y = 16 then x = 16 - y
Substitute x = 16 - y into x - y = 2.4
16 - y - y = 2.4
16 - 2y = 2.4
2y = 13.6
y = 6.8
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 6.8
x = 9.2
Answer:
The value of two numbers are 9.2 and 6.8
