In the equation 0.75s-5/8 = 44, how do you combine the like terms?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.

It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first.  Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:

8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).

Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields

8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or

48s              = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)

Dividing both sides by 48 yields s:   s = 8(49/48)

Review "like terms:"  These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common.  5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present).  We must add 5/8 and 44.   0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.

Write an equivalent expression for 88 +16x +8 . If x=4,is the solution to both expressions the same.
Firlakuza [10]
You can find an equivalent expression for this by combining like terms.
The terms are 88, 16x, and 8.
The like terms are 88 and 8.
To combine them, add them together.
88 + 8 = 96
The equivalent expression would be 16x + 96.
This means 16x + 96 is the same as <span>88 + 16x + 8.

Since they are equivalent, that means they are equal, or the same.
So no matter what x is, they will both be equal to the same thing, so their solutions will be the same.

Answers:
Equivalent Expression: 16x + 96
Yes, both expressions will have the same solutions if x = 4.

Hope this helps!</span>
