Answer: -11
Step-by-step explanation:
+(-8) can be simplified to -8 because when you multiply a positive sign by a negative sign, the outcome is a negative sign. So your problem is -3-8= and the answer is -11 because when two numbers with the same sign are subtracted/added by each other, the numbers just get added and the sign stays the same. If you're still confused, use a number line. Hope this helps!
Let's call:
f = price of 1 cup of dried fruit
a = price of 1 cup of almonds
In order to build the linear system, you need to consider that the total price of a bag is given by the sum of the price of cups times the number of cups in each bag, therefore:

Solve for a in first equation:
a = (6 - 3f) / 4
Then substitute in the second equation:
41/2 f + 6 · (6 - 3f) / <span>4 = 9
41/2 f + 9 - 9/2 f = 9
16 f = 0
f = 0
Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
</span>a = (6 - 3·0) / <span>4
= 3/2 = 1.5
Hence, the cups of dried fruit are free and 1 cup of almond costs 1.5$</span>
total, t = 15/16
red beans, r = 3/16
pinto beans, p = 5/16
black beans, b = t -(p+r) = 7/16
