combine like

2 + 7x + 12 - 3x -5
simplify

(2x - 5) + (3x + 4)

!

5x + (- 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So the terms are 2x, -5, 3x, and +4.

2x and 3x have x in common so they can be combined to create 5x.

-5 and +4 don't have variables, so they are also common and can be combined to make -1.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

probability for j is 1/4
