the answer is -2 because 21-23 is a negative number
<span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9
When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution. If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could multiply each side by 10. Then the
equation is
5x - 1 = -29
You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:
</span><span><span>5x - 1 = -29
Add 1 to each side: 5x = -28
Divide each side by 5 : x = -28 / 5
Simplify the solution: x = -5 and 4/5 .
Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

Variables are taken from the first letter of the color, ex: green = g.
Given:
r = g
2r = b = y
Total =42
So then:
r+ r + 2r + 2r = 42
6r = 42
r = 7
y = 2r
y = 2(7)
14 of the 42 pencils were yellow.
If u can message me on my profile, I can help you
5x6 = 30 divided in half because its a triangle
=15
2x3 = 6
15-6 = 9
