First, you want to start in the parentheses. 5-6=-1, then multiply it by -2. Since a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, -2*-1=2. -3^2=-9. 2+8=10. Then -9 times 10= -90. Then, we move on to the bottom. 5--2=7. 4^2=16, and -2(2)=-4. So -5(7) + 16-4=-23. Now, the equation should look like this, -90/-23. Put the negatives together and you get 90/23.

Chloe wants to cut a 37 in. piece of ribbon into three pieces. The second piece is to be 2 in. longer than the first, and the th

valentinak56 [21]

1st piece = x

2nd piece = x+2

3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5

37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =

37 = 3x+7

30=3x

x = 30/3 = 10

1st piece = 10 inches

2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches

3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
