<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Combining like terms is used in math in order to simplify expressions. We combine common terms in order to make the expression much easier. Common terms are those that have the same variable and exponent. So in the expression:

$3.26d+9.75d-2.65 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \text{The terms} \ 3.26d, \ 9.75d \ \text{have the same variable d and exponent 1} \\ \text{therefore we can combine them}$

Thus, the expression becomes:

$3.26d+9.75d-2.65=(3.26d+9.75d)-2.65=\boxed{13.01d-2.65}$

Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation c

Paha777 [63]

First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way.
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.

Kayleigh babysat for 11 hours this week. That was 5 fewer than 2/3 as many hours as she babysat last week, h. Write an equation

lukranit [14]

Answer: The answer is $\textup{x}=\dfrac{2}{3}\textup{h}-5.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Kayleigh babysat for 11 hours the present week. Also, this was 5 less than two-third of the number of hours she babysat last week, which is represented by 'h'.

We are to write an equation to represent the number of hours she babysat each week.

So, for that, let 'x' be the number of hours she babysat this week. Then, according to the question, we can write

$\textup{x}=\dfrac{2}{3}\textup{h}-5.$

Also, it is given that

$\textup{x}=11.$

Therefore,

$11=\dfrac{2}{3}\textup{h}-5\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{3}\textup{h}=16\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{h}=24.$

Hence, using the above relation, we can find the number oh hours Keyleigh babysat each week.

Thus, the required equation is

$\textup{x}=\dfrac{2}{3}\textup{h}-5,$

where, 'x' and 'h' are the number of hours she sat this week and last week respectively.

Diego's sister is twice his age minus 9 years. She is also as old as half the sum of the ages of Diego and both of his 12-year-o

slava [35]

Answer:

Diego is 14 years old.

Sister is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Diego's age

2x-9 = 2

First to get rid of the fraction we multiply each side by 2

2(2x-9) = 2((x+24)/2)

4x-18 = x+24

The we isolate x

4x-18 = x+24

<u>3x</u> = <u>42</u> Now we divide each side 3

3 3

x = 14

So Diego is 14

Now we can solve for his sister. We can use one of the two equations from earlier to do this.

Plug 14 in for x and then solve for his sister

2(14)-9

28-9

His sister is 19

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 s

asambeis [7]

The question is incomplete:

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 sweaters, $5 books. They want to buy 200 items and send them to schools in earthquake-hit areas. They must order as many books as school bags and sweaters combined. How many of each item should they order?

Answer:

They must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=200 (1)

20x+25y+5z=2800 (2)

z=x+y (3), where:

x=amount of bags

y=amount of sweaters

z=amount of books

Now, you can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+x+y=200

2x+2y=200 (4)

20x+25y+5(x+y)=2800

20x+25y+5x+5y=2800

25x+30y=2800 (5)

Then, you will have 2 equations:

2x+2y=200 (4)

25x+30y=2800 (5)

You can isolate x in (4):

2x=200-2y

x=100-y (6)

After this, you can replace (6) in (5):

25(100-y)+30y=2800

2500-25y+30y=2800

5y=2800-2500

y=300/5

y=60

Next, you can replace the value of y in (6) to find the value of x:

x=100-60

x=40

Finally, you can replace the value of x and y in (3) to find the value of z:

z=40+60

z=100

According to this, the answer is that they must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.
