<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
<u>The simplest form would be:</u>
8c² - 1.5d
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To simplify an expression, we need to <u>gather the like terms</u>.
Like terms are the ones having the same variable raised to the same power
<u>In the given expression:</u>
6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d
We have terms having c² and terms having d.
<u>Therefore, we would gather them as follows:</u>
6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d
(6+2)c² + (2.5-1-3)d
8c² - 1.5d ......................> This is the simplest form
Hope this helps :)
The complete question in the attached figure
Part A) How much sand is currently in the container?
[sand currently in the container]=(5)*(4 1/2)*(2.25)-----> (5)*(4.5)*(2.25)
[sand currently in the container]=50.625 in³
the answer Part a) is 50.625 in³Part B) How much more sand could the container hold before?
[sand could the container hold before]=[5*4.5*3]-[50.625]
[sand could the container hold before]=[67.5]-[50.625]------> 16.875 in³
the answer Part B) is 16.875 in³
Part C) What percent of the container is filled with sand?
the volume of container is [5*4.5*3]=67.5 in³
the volume filled with sand=50.625 in³
therefore
if 100%----------------> 67.5 in³
X---------------------> 50.625 in³
X=(50.625*100)/67.5=75 %
the answer Part C) is 75%
25(6) + [8(6-s)] = t, where s = number of hours and t = total.
Answer:
Maximum is 14 inches so maybe 5 inches?
