To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-8x⁵ + 7x⁵
(-8 + 7)x⁵
-x⁵

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m²

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $46 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$46 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2300}{100} \) = $23.00 on the second shirt.

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{32} \) - 3\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \) - 3\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \) - 3\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 3\( \sqrt{2} \)
36\( \sqrt{2} \) - 3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
