Answer: you would do -16 - 5 = -21
1) 13a=-5
Make a the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by 13(the coefficient of a)
13a/13=-5/13
Therefore a= -0.385
The second one). 12-b= 12.5
You take the 12 to the other side making b subject of the formula (-b in this case)
-b= 12.5-12
-b= 0.5
(You cannot leave b with a negative sign so you will divide both sides by -1 to cancel out the negative sign)
-b/-1= 0.5/-1
Therefore b=-0.5
The third one). -0.1= -10c
You will divide both sides by the coefficient of c(number next to c) which is -10
-0.1/-10= -10c/-10
Hence, c= 0.01

Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Sean and Greg share a 24-ounce bucket of clay
Sean uses 3/8 of the bucket
= 3/8 ×24
= 9 ounce
Greg uses 1/4 if the bucket
= 1/4 ×24
= 6 ounce
= 9+6
= 15 ounce
Therefore the quantity left in the bucket can be calculated as follows
= 24-15
= 9
Hence 9 ounces are left in the bucket
Answer:
- 455 adult tickets
- 884 student tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...
5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159
4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms
a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold
(1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold
455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.
