Answer:
X = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
3X=-15
Lets solve the equation for x. We will isolate x by dividing each side by 3
3X/3 = -15/3
X = -5
You can solve this by cross multiplying. 20 ounces/$7=x ounces/$17. multiple $17 by 20 ounces and $7 by x ounces. (17x20=7x). 17x20=340, so 340=7x. Divide both sides by 7, and you will get x equals about 48.6.
(5ab-4a-8)-(9ab-5)
Ok just remember that the minus sign before the (9ab-5) is like a minus 1 so it changes the sign inside the bracket...
>>5ab-4a-8-9ab+5
>>-4ab-4a-3
I'm guessing you just have to leave it like that unless there are other parts to the question or whatever but that's that simplified as far as it can be!
