So we are finding the difference btween 5x-3 and 3x+1.
(5x-3)-(3x+1)
Let's subtract the x's first.
5x-3x=2x
Now the numbers.
-3-1=-4
Now, we need to put 2x and -4 together.
The expression would be 2x-4.
Answer:
so you can simplify the ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-8-10,-12-14
-8 plus -12 is -20
-20 times 5 is -100
-14 times 8 is -112
-100 is 12 more than -112
The answer to your question is (2,-6)
