Beatrice decides she wants to babysit a few children at the same time to earn the money faster. she tells parents that if they allow her to babysit their children at her house, she will eliminate her automatic $5 tip and will give them an additional $5 discount. (a) write an equation showing the total cost for each client. identify all variables. (b) four parents bring their children to beatrice’s house at the same time for babysitting. beatrice wants to find out how many hours she must babysit the 4 children to earn exactly the $100 she needs in order to buy the present for her mother. write and solve an equation to find the number of hours. justify each step in the solution. (c) one parent decides not to drop off her child. the remaining 3 parents drop their children off at 9 a.m. two of the parents say they will be back at 1 p.m. the third parent says she will pick up her child at 2 p.m. at noon, beatrice realizes she needs feeding the 3 ch

Which product is positive a is 2/5 -8/9 -1/3 -2/7 b is -2/5 8/9 -1/3 -2/7 c is 2/5 8/9 1/3 -2/7 d is -2/5 -8/9 1/3 2/7

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.
