Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

>>Do I subtract or add the coefficients with variables together?

Add the terms with variables. In this case, the terms with variables are 3x and 6x. The communicative property of addition still holds true, so 3x+6x and 6x+3x are the same.

Do NOT subtract terms. If you do, let's take the 3x and 6x from the example above, doing either 3x-6x or 6x-3x would lead to the wrong answer.

Note: if you encounter a situation where if you have let's say, the terms -3x and 17x, -3x+17 and 17x + -3x are exactly the same (commutative property of addition still holds true). DO NOT do 17x - -3x or -3x-17x! Those would lead to the wrong answer.

Now,

We are given the following equation:

3x-15+6x+2=41

And we want to solve it for x

As stated above, we ADD the terms with coefficients together. So 3x+6x=9x.

The same is true for the numbers without variables; -15+2=-13

On the left, we have:

9x-13=41

Add 13 to both sides to remove it from the left side

9x=54

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x

x=6

Hope this helps!

Marcus needs 3 1/10 m of blue fabric and 1 1/5 m of yellow fabric to make his costume. How much more blue fabric than yellow fab
Kamila [148]

Answer:

1\frac{9}{10}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much more blue fabric than yellow fabric does Marcus need, subtract the quantity of yellow fabric from the quantity of blue fabric

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

3\frac{1}{10}\ m=\frac{3*10+1}{10}=\frac{31}{10}\ m

1\frac{1}{5}\ m=\frac{1*5+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}\ m

step 2

Subtract the numbers

\frac{31}{10}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{31}{10}-\frac{12}{10}=\frac{19}{10}\ m

Convert to mixed number

\frac{19}{10}\ m=\frac{10}{10}+\frac{9}{10}=1\frac{9}{10}\ m
