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.

What is n in the equation 12 + 12n = -48
Liula [17]
Hello!

To solve an algebraic equation, you must isolate the variable on one side. We’ll begin by restating the given equation:

12 + 12n = -48

Now subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

12n = -60

Divide both sides by 12:

n = -5

We have now proven that “n” is equal to (-5).

I hope this helps!

Let A = Aaron's age today and M = Maria's age today.
kondor19780726 [428]

Aaron is 4 years and Maria is 14 years old.

A = Aaron's age today

M = Maria's age today.

a. The equation based on the statement given will be:

M = A + 10

b. Maria's age based on the statement in 6 years will be:

= (A + 10) + 6

= A + 16

c. Based on the information above, the equation to solve their ages will be:

A + 16 = 2(A + 6)

A + 16 = 2A + 12

Collect like terms

2A - A = 16 - 12

A = 4

Therefore, Aaron is 4 and Maria is 14 years.
