(a) I'd say sometimes true. 3 + -7= -4 , -5 + 3= -2 , 8+-5=3, 7+-7=0
(b) I'm not too sure about this one but I what i know is that if the positive number is higher than the negative number it will be a positive. If you are adding both a negative number and a positive number that is the same value it will be 0. And if you are adding a negative that is higher than the positive it will be a negative number.
I hope this helped a bit.. (:

Answer:
A: x + y = 55; y - x = 25
B: 15 minutes running
C: no
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part A:</h3>
The two equations relate to the total number of minutes, and to the difference specified in the problem statement.
x + y = 55 . . . . . . total time is 55 minutes
y = x + 25 . . . . . . dances 25 minutes longer
__
<h3>Part B:</h3>
We can substitute for y in the first equation to find the value of x, the time spent running.
x + (x +25) = 55
2x = 30 . . . . subtract 25
x = 15 . . . . . . divide by 2
Jackie spends 15 minutes running each day.
__
<h3>Part C:</h3>
The value of y from is found using the second equation:
y = x +25 = 15 +25 = 40
Jackie <u>will not spend 45 minutes dancing</u> if she meets the requirements on times.
Answer:
x = 7
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
In the above question, we are given 2 equations which are simultaneous. To solve this equation, we have to find the values of x and y
x + 3y = 13 ........ Equation 1
x - y = 5...........Equation 2
From Equation 2,
x = 5 + y
Substitute 5 + y for x in Equation 1
x + 3y = 13 ........ Equation 1
5 + y + 3y = 13
5 + 4y = 13
4y = 13 - 5
4y = 8
y = 8/4
y = 2
Since y = 2, substitute , 2 for y in Equation 2
x - y = 5...........Equation 2
x - 2 = 5
x = 5 + 2
x = 7
Therefore, x = 7 and y = 2
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.
1. y = -1/2 + 2.
2. y= 2/5x - 4/5
