Hey there!
Let's set up our expression:
(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)
In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:
7a-6b+7-8a+2
Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:
(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =
-a - 6b + 9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x= 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A is the correct option.Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A triangle ABC where AC=4 and AB=6
then to prove segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.
the length of AD and AE must divide AC and AB respectively to get the same ratio of 2:1
To apply converse of basic proportionality theorem.
If we take first option Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2 then
Therefore by converse of basic proportionality theorem
DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.
Therefore A is correct option.
