We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
Answer:
There are an average of 265 students present.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Count all the present student numbers together: 260 + 270 + 280 + 250 = 1060
- Divide the sum of all the present student numbers by the number of days: 1060÷4=265 students present on average.
Answer:
(B) Reflection in the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that these triangles have the exact same x-coordinates, however their y coordinates are opposite each other. This means that if we wanted to get one of the triangles to the other, we’d have to reflect over the x-axis
(by default, if the x values are the same and y are opposite, reflect across x axis. If y values are the same and x is opposite, reflect over y. it’s sort of like opposites.)
Hope this helped!
The answer is D. none of the above.
