Write an equivalent expression for 7 + 5 k minus 2 minus 3 k + n. Which statements are true about the steps for writing the equivalent expression? Check all that apply. Combine the constant terms by adding 7 and –2.
The equivalent expression is 9 + 3 k.
n, 5 k, and negative 3 k are like variable terms.
Combine the like variable terms by adding the coefficients.
5 k and negative 3 k are like variable terms.
The constants 7 and –2 are like terms.
The equivalent expression is 5 + 2 k + n.

Shown Below

Step-by-step explanation:

7+5k-2-3k+n

If you combine like terms, you should get 5+2k+n.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

your answer is -9
