Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms, perform the operations with the coefficients of the variable, then write the variable.
10r - 5r + 3r - 8r
= 5r + 3r - 8r
= 8r - 8r
= 0
Hello there!
I believe the answer is this.
hope this helps!
Check the picture below.
now, we're making an assumption that, the two blue shaded region are equal in shape, and thus if that's so, that area above the 14 is 6 and below it is also 6, 14 + 6 + 6 = 26.
so hmm if we simply get the area of the trapezoid and subtract the area of the yellow triangle and the area of the cyan triangle, what's leftover is what we didn't subtract, namely the shaded region.

If you treat multiplication as repeated a<span>ddition, then y</span>es, Juan is correct. Only equal groups can be multiplied.
