Mirandah simplified the expression 5 x + 9 y - 4 . She says the answer is 10 x y . Answer the following questions. What error did Miranda make while combining like terms? What should her answer be?

5x + 9y -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is already in simplified form, however, Miranda made the mistake of adding the coefficients of 5 and 9 and subtracting the constant of -4 which equals to 10, furthermore, she added the variables x and y, which are not considered like terms. resulting in the wrong solution.

answer: the answer is 40.82

step-by-step explanation: 3.14 x 13(or half of 26) to the power of 2

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
