Can someone Please explain these Algebra problems to me?
1.Combine like terms.
–6d – 3d
2. Which of the following is not an expression?
A) m(w + 7)
B) m – ÷ w
C) w•m – 9
D) w + m + 1
3. Write the following phrase using symbols. Use the variable x to represent the number.
3 less than a number
Did i do this one right ………. Answer? x-3
Favorite Answer
so… -6d + -3d= -9d
2. My guess for this one is B because I don’t know how to minus and divide something simultaneously.
3. I’m nearly positive you are correct. Don’t overthink it. 3 less than a number can only be x-3.
-6-3= -9d
2. I would say “b” because in the middle there are two operation signs (the subtract and divide symbols) and theres really nothing you can do to solve it…
3. Yes, its x-3 … the variable “x” is the unknown number it mentions in the word problem…
Hope this helps. Good luck
2) B is the answer. it would be correct if the ‘minus’ sign were in front of the M, denoting a negative number. but you can’t do two things, subtract and divide, in the same expression (or calculation.) They are two seperate things.
3) You are correct.
2. B. M minus divided by W is not an expression. It’s hilarious.
3. Yeah, you’re right.
