Hey there!
On this problem, we have to combine like terms. A like term in this sense doesn't have to have the same coefficient, but it has to have the same variable.
Our like terms are 2m and 4m, along with 3 and 5.
When we add 2m and 4m we get 6m, and when we add 5 and 3 we get eight.
Notice how 5 and three are like terms because they're both whole numbers and don't have any variables.
Your solution is 6m + 8.
My advice to you is pay attention to your like terms and don't mix them up. A strategy is to underline like terms in the same color.
Hope this helps!
This is how much money you would have after 3 years with 5.8% interest, $16,620.80
Answer:
The computer costs $212.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you multiply the original ammount by the percentage,or 15%,which is 0.15.Then you take that amount and subtract it from the original price.
Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.
Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:
In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:
Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as
So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).
In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.
Step-by-step explanation:
3+7+10=20
80/20=4
1 ratio =4
3(4) : 7(4) : 10(4)
= 12 : 28 : 40
