Which of the following expressions could be simplified further? 2x + 3m + 7n + 4z − 5p 6x − 7m + 9x 4x + 3m − 5z + 8a 2x + 3m − 5y + 4z
Evaluate: 8 − (−7)
i got 56
and for the other i got answer 3
I really believe its 2 because you can just add the 6x and the 9x and it wont and the result will be the same.
and a negative times a positive is a negative.
so it should be -1
lets help eachother here......... so doesn't (-7) mean that your suppose to multiply the 7 and the 8? if so then because your multiplier is a negative your result will be a negative. they dont subtract eachother, please, tell me if I am wrong
being honest am not sure because i dont have a good grade in algebra that why am trying to get help
yeah, I'm here to learn to :D
hmm, give me some time...
me too
got it! you see your only suppose to multiply if theres no insignia next to the parenthesis, so since there is an insignia (8-) the only thing your suppose todo is just subtract, so 8- -7=1!
thanks i got one more if u can
A concession stand charges $2.00 per soda and $0.50 per candy bar. Write an expression for the amount of money you would need to buy x sodas and y candy bars
and for your first question I am right-o that you can simplify 6x − 7m + 9x and turn it into 15x -7x
Hit me! :D
this is what i got 20/sodas,.5 candy bars x=soda y=candy bars so the expression will be 20x+.5y
tell me if am right
hmmmm..I think that works, but what was on My mind was something like a rate, so like 1 candy bar and 1 soda is like xy=2.50
and they want a essay
But otherwise, that definitively works!
essay?
that the way
yes
so like a wrtitten response on how it works? the candy one bar right?
(Essay Worth 6 points) A concession stand charges $2.00 per soda and $0.50 per candy bar. Write an expression for the amount of money you would need to buy x sodas and y candy bars
yes
hmm ok, I would say something like
omg u really going at it
a way to express the number of candy bars and sodas sold is this: let x (sodas) = 200 and y (candy bars) = .50 and let m = money Now,a n equation to buy 1 soda and 2 candy bars is 2x+1y=m tada!
lol
:D
thank so much for your help
you are very welcome :D
Peace!
are u still here
Um yeah, I can still if you want, I was helping another person :D sorry if I like ditched u
