Are 2d and 4d like terms

Yes they are like terms

They both have the same variable so that is why they are like terms.

We can think of 'd' representing something like "dogs" maybe

d = 1 dog

2d = 2 dogs

3d = 3 dogs

4d = 4 dogs

and so on

Adding 2d with 4d gets us 2d+4d = 6d meaning we have 6 dogs overall if we started with 2 and added on 4 more. This is one way to help see why we can combine like terms.

In contrast, something like 2c+4d cannot be combined since having 2 cats and 4 dogs doesn't result in 6 cats or 6 dogs. We just simply leave it as 2c+4d.

a

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
