To write this equation in simplest form, we simply need to combine all like terms. The like terms in this particular expression are the terms with an n-variable and the terms with no variable. So we can combine them to simplify our expression.
5n - 6 + n - 1
First step, we can reorder our terms so that like terms are near each other
5n + n - 6 - 1
Now we can combine easily
(5n + n) - (6 - 1)
6n - 5
And that is your simplified expression.
5n - 6 + n - 1 in simplest form is 6n - 5.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
a) 7/4 b) 15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Scale Factor = Image / Object
Take the side of Triangle ABC that's BC Why? Because it corresponds with the Image Triangle ADE's DE
= 21/12 = 7/4
b) 7/4 = 10+ x / 10
Cross Multiply
= 4 ( 10 + x ) = 70
= 40 + 4x = 70
= 4x = 70-40
= 4x = 30
= 4x/4 = 30/4
x = 15/2
Graham: -50x + 14,040
Max: 20x + 12,500
Graham = Max
-50x + 14,040 = 20x + 12,500
<u>+50x </u> <u>+50x </u>
14,040 = 70x + 12,500
<u> -12,500 </u> <u> -12.500 </u>
1,540 = 70x
220 = x
Answer: 220 minutes <em>(3 hours 40 minutes)</em>
No, if you multiply the factors in 3(5b-2) the equivalent expression would be 15b-6
