Determine the given equation is a linear equation write yes or no. If yes, write the equation in standard form. 7n - 8m = 4 - 2m.
Use Standard form

The equation is linear. Standard form:

7n - 6m - 4 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Equations

The linear equations are identified because all terms form a polynomial of degree 1 or zero (no variable).

The standard form of a linear equation is:

ax+by+cz+d=0

where x, y, z are the variables, and a,b,c are constants.

The equation:

7n - 8m = 4 - 2m

Is linear, both variables have an exponent of 1 and there is an independent term. Moving all terms to the left side:

7n - 8m - 4 + 2m =0

Simplifying:

7n - 6m - 4 =0

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
