(2y² + 7y + 11) - (8y² - 5y + 7) you can distribute the negative sign to the second expression and then combine the like terms
new expression: (2y² + 7y + 11) (-8y² + 5y - 7)
2y² and -8y² equals -6y²
7y and 5y equals 12y
11 and -7 equals 4
The answer is -6y² + 12y + 4
Answer:
The answer is: 3 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut
x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23
solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59
Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: x-terms with x-terms and constants with constants. Arrange the terms in the same order, usually x-term before constants. If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.
