14w^9- 19w^9
Help please

-5w^9.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two terms are what we call, 'like terms'. This means that they are terms whose variables and exponents are the same. 14w^9- 19w^9 have the variable w^9 in common.

In these cases, all we do is use the coefficients (the number in front of the variable). Hence, 14w^9- 19w^9, quite literally turns into, 14-19. If we complete the sum, 14-19= -5. Put it all together, we have -5w^9.

Hope this helps!

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
