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

Mathematics

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.

Anarel [89]
Mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 and then add this "new" equation to the 1st given eqn:

 -6x + y = -2
  6x -18y = 54
--------------------
        -17y = 52, or y = -52/17.  Subst. this value of y into either equation to find the value of x.

the sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to Market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
