Each week, alfonso earned $85 for every shift he works at the theater and $15 for every dog-walking job. he uses the expression 85x + 15 y to keep track of his earnings. how many terms are in the expression, what are they, and how do you know?

In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. There are two terms in this expression, and i know this because terms are separated by a + or - sign.

the answer is c

hope this !

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
