Answer:
3/4 is what you are adding
17/4+3/4=20/4=5
It would be B. because if you put the numbers on a number line, you notice that -14 is further down than -3 since -3 is closer to 0, so -14 is less than -3
Yes, i believe so because u can count back twice and u will get 5. You could al so do: 7-2=5. Hope this helps
Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
