Question 20205: i have a math test tommorow and i need help! (nov.21st) I'm in algabra 1 and the things i need help on is:
1.)combining like terms to solve equations ex:n=5n=42
2.)using the distributive property ex:(8n-3)1/4
3.)rational numbers and equations
4.)using probability
5.)percent equations
maybe u can include lessons and explanations to tell me how to do this. thank you please help me -ana

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.)combining like terms to solve equations ex:n=5n=42
2.)using the distributive property ex:(8n-3)1/4
3.)rational numbers and equations
4.)using probability
5.)percent equations
Combining like terms;
A like term is a term that is EXACTLY alike;
x + 2x, are like terms, you can add those together.
x%5E2%2Bx are not like terms so you can not add those together.
Using distributive property;
(8n-3)1/4
you multiply each term by 1/4;
8n(1/4)-3(1/4)
8%2F4n-3%2F4
Rational numbers;
any number that can be written as a fraction and has an opposite;
ex;
8=8/1; opposite of 8 is -8
Using propability
Propability is a way of telling how likely somethng will or will not happen.
ex.
lets say you have a deck of 52 cards, there should be 13 spades, but the ace of spades gets ripped, sowhat will the chance br that you pick an ace? P(S)=12%2F51
Percent equations;
P%2F100x of = is
ex.;
twenty percent of what number is 15?
20%2F100xWN=15
We start by multiplying each side by 100%2F20
%28100%2F20%2920%2F100xWN=15(100%2F20)
WN=1500%2F20
WN=75
Hope I got everything for you, and you understand
