please help > > 2) In the expression, y + 4x + 2y - 6x > > a) Identify one variable > > b) Identify one coefficient > > c) Identify one term > > d) Identify a set of like-terms > > e) Simplify:
a) Identify one variable Any ideas here?
y
coefficient is 4
the other two i dont now
are u there
yeah sorry about that
alright, so you got parts a) and b)
you just need c) and d)
and e)
yes
c) Identify one term A term is simply a monomial Any monomial is basically a coefficient multiplied by a variable term So 4x is one term for example
i think i got e
What did you get for the answer on part e)?
give me a minute am working on it
alright
4x-6x
good, which simplifies to ???
2x
-2x since 4-6 = -2
okay
now what about the y terms?
2y +y
good, which adds to?
3y
good, so overall, the expression simplifies to -2x+3y
so is going to be 4x-6x=y+2y -2x=3y
not sure how you're getting that
so how i will do it
lol
you just simply get to the point -2x+3y and you're done
so just put y+4x+2y-6x -2x+3y
exactly, that's what you put for part e)
thank so much
and i need help for something else u think u could help me
sure thing, what's your question?
1. Explain how using PEMDAS backwards helps you solve most equations? 2. What does it mean to “isolate the variable” when given an equation? 3. How do formulas help us understand relationships between variables in standardized equations such as area formulas, or the distance-rate-time formula? 1. Given a subset of the following set, all whole numbers greater than 5, explain why each of these numbers are or are not included in this subset: 1, -6, 2/3, 4.5, 10, 176, 189.2, -4.327. 2. Give an example of how sets or Venn diagrams can be used in science, history or language arts. 3. What effect do the words “or” and “and” have on a group of numbers when you are defining sets? 4. Explain the relationship between the domain and range of a function.
which one are you having trouble with?
all of them i dont now nothing
Are you familiar with PEMDAS?
nope
have you heard of the order of operations?
yes
PEMDAS is simply an acronym or device used to remember the order of operations
so how i could explain it
You follow the order of operations to evaluate something like 2*3 + 5 to get 2*3 + 5 = 10 Now say that the '3' is covered up with an 'x' to get 2x + 5 = 10
You can't evaluate the left side any more because you don't know x. So you have to "undo" everything by following the order of operations backwards to find x.
okay but from where u got the x
I just randomly replaced a number with 'x'
okay got it
To make a "known" become an "unknown"
ok got it
how about 2
question 2
2. What does it mean to “isolate the variable” when given an equation? To isolate anything is to get it by itself, so to isolate a variable, we're getting it to one side and moving everything else to the other side
So we're trying to get it in the form x = ....
so going to be taking all the number and just staying with the variable
yes
keep the variable on one side, move everything else to the other
okay got it
question 3
i hope am not bodoring u too much
i really appreciated
3. How do formulas help us understand relationships between variables in standardized equations such as area formulas, or the distance-rate-time formula? Formulas allow us to compute one value if we know another Ex: if you know the length and width, you can find the area using a formula Also, we can see how one variable changes as we change other values. This will allow us to do things such as maximize profits or minimize costs.
am sorry i do go
I'm not sure what you mean
i was in the bathroom sorry just came back lol
oh gotcha lol
so we just missing these1. Given a subset of the following set, all whole numbers greater than 5, explain why each of these numbers are or are not included in this subset: 1, -6, 2/3, 4.5, 10, 176, 189.2, -4.327. 2. Give an example of how sets or Venn diagrams can be used in science, history or language arts. 3. What effect do the words “or” and “and” have on a group of numbers when you are defining sets? 4. Explain the relationship between the domain and range of a function.
are u there
yes, did my explanation make sense?
oh yes am right behind u;u are a good teacher
1. Given a subset of the following set, all whole numbers greater than 5, explain why each of these numbers are or are not included in this subset: 1, -6, 2/3, 4.5, 10, 176, 189.2, -4.327. Is 1 greater than 5?
nope
So that's why 1 is NOT part of the set
is -6 greater than 5?
yes
keep in mind that the 6 is negative
so okay is no is not greater
you got it, so -6 is NOT part of the set
You're doing this for EVERY number listed above
but how i will explain it
1, -6, 2/3, 4.5, 10, 176, 189.2, -4.327. one is not greater than 5,-6 is not greater than 5,2/3 is not greater than 5,4.5 is not greater than 5,10 is greater than 5,176 is greater than 5,189.2 is greater than 5 and -4.327 is not greater than 5
tell me if am right
are u there
good, you got it, but...
but what
189.2 isn't a whole number and 10 seems like it's missing something...not sure what
so 182.2 is not and 10 is just liked that in the question so is a whole number
i mean 189.2
hmm that's very strange
thats the way the teacher put it
well 10 is a whole number and it's greater than 5, so it shouldn't be excluded...but they want it to be for some reason
so how will i explain it
You'll just have to ask your teacher about it. Maybe there's a typo?
no thats the way the question is
Well then I'm not sure
okey that alright
I'd still ask your teacher about it
