We know that coefficient of an equation is the number multiplied by variable.
-8 and 1.5 are the constants for our given equation.
The variable of our given equation is x. We can also see that x is being multiplied by 0.5, therefore, 0.5 would be the decimal coefficient of our given equation.
<u>Answer:</u>
He will order 72 pairs of high tops
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given the store owner sells two pairs of running shoes for each pair of high tops
For every pair of high tops, he sells 2 pairs of running shoes
1 high top = 2 running shoes
He has planned to order 144 pairs of shoes
Therefore, 144 pair of running shoes = 144/2 = 72 pairs of high tops
Therefore, he will order 72 pairs of high tops
?/8 = 3/?
Multiplying both sides by 8, then “?” gives
8? * ?/8 = 8? * 3/?
?*? = 24
The number, then, is sqrt(24), or 2 sqrt(6), which is approximately 4.90.
(2/3)n - 6 = 2
Add 6 to both sides.
(2/3)n = 8
Divide by 2/3.
n = 9 / (2/3)
n = 27/2, or 13.5
Negative +Negative = Negative
Negative + Positive = negative
