Please help 6n^2-5n^2-7n^2 simplify the expression

Answers

Since 6n^2 and −5n^2 are like terms then add −5n^2 to 6n^2 to get n^2.

n^2−7n^2

Since n^2 and −7n^2 are like terms then add −7n^2 to n^2 to get −6n^2.

The answer is −6n^2




2|x+8|=20
Plz show work

Answers

Answer: x=2, or x=-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since anything in an absolute value can be positive or negative (since in an absolute value, everything has to be positive since absolute value measures distance and distance cannot be a negative), so |x+8| can become either (x+8) or [-(x+8)].

Our first equation: (after I've removed absolute value)

2(x+8)=20

2x+16=20

2x=4

x=2

And our second equation: (after I've removed absolute value):

-2(x+8)=20

-2x-16=20

-2x=36

x=-18

Answers

Hi there, (6z²+z-1)(9z-5)=(6z²+z+-1)(9z+-5)=(6z²)(9z)+(6z²)(-5)+(z)(9z)+(z)(-5)+(-1)(9z)+(-1)(-5)=54z³-30z²+9z²-5z-9z+5=54z³-21z²-14z+5. Therefore, the answer is 54z³-21z²-14z+5.

Alan has scored 99, 85, and 74 on his previous three tests. What score does he need on his next test so that his average (mean) is 83?

Answers

(99+85+74+x)/4=83
multiply both by 4
99+85+74+x= 332
258+x=332
subtract 258 both sides
x= 74

He must get a 74.

To check answer:
99+85+74+74= 332
332/4 = 83

It’s right!
