Someone i'm stuck : ) simplify the following expression: (7x + y) − (5x + 2y). if the final answer is written in the form ax + by, what is the value of b? answer - simplify the following expression: (2x + 4y) − (4x − 2y). if the final answer is written in the form ax + by, what is the value of a? answer- simplify the following expression: (7x + y) − (4x − 3y). if the final answer is written in the form ax + by, what is the value of a? answer-

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
