Question: when you subtract like terms how do you know what number to subtract from the other?

Answer: You would add them together, not subtract.

Step-by-step explanation: When you’re combining like terms, you always “add“ them together. For that example, you would add 3x and 10x together along with 4 and -9 together. That would look like (3x + 10x) + [4 + (-9)], which simplifies to 13x - 5 = 180.

Answer:

9a-a^2 is the required quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{45 {a}^{2} - 5 {a}^{3} }{5a} \\ = \frac{5a(9a - {a}^{2} )}{5a} \\ = 9a - {a}^{2}$

Which statement is true about the line represented on the equation y + 7 = -3 (x - 2/9) ?

Zarrin [17]

<u>ANSWER</u>

The point $(\frac{2}{9},-7)$ lies on the straight line $y+7=-3(x-\frac{2}{9})$

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The given line is $y+7=-3(x-\frac{2}{9})$ . It can be observed that the given straight line is in the point-slope form.

We can rewrite the equation in the point-slope form to obtain,

$y--7=-3(x-\frac{2}{9})$ .

When we compare this to the general point-slope form, which given by the formula;

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ ,

We can observe that,

$x_1=\frac{2}{9}$ and $y_1=-7$ .

Hence the point, $(x_1,y_1)=(\frac{2}{9},-7)$ lies on $y+7=-3(x-\frac{2}{9})$
