Ok -7-7=-14 because your subtracting a negative with a negative and then it will be a negative then if you multiply a negative and a negative it will be a positive
Joe runs one lap around a track in 80 seconds. Joe and Jim meet after 30 seconds.We know how long does it take for Joe to run one lap, so we can calculate what distance he runs in 30 seconds:
He runs half lap for 40 seconds. He runs quarter lap for 20 minutes and he runs 1/8 lap for ten minutes. So for 30 seconds he runs 3 * 1/8 lap=3/8 lap.
Because Jim runs in opposite direction this means that he will meat with Joe at 1-3/8=5/8 lap. So, Jim runs 5/8 lap for 30 seconds.
1/8 lap Jim runs for 30/5=6 seconds, so Jim needs 8*6=48 seconds to run the lap.
After 30 seconds Joe has run e runs
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
