Answer: 125 miles
if you do the math you will get the same answer.
That would be the zero identity property. Hope it helps!
Answer: d=20/3
Step By Step:
Step 1, Simplify:
12-3/4(d+16)=-5
(-3/4)d+(12-12)=-5
(-3/4)d=-5
Step 2, Multiply each side by 4/(-3)
(4/-3)*(-3/4)d=(4/-3)*-5
d=20/3
you turn 1 and 1 over 5 into 6 over 5. then divide.
12 divided by 6 over 5 equals 10
In this type of calculations, we decompose 13 by checking the lowest powers of the base, that is 40. for example we check 40^2, or 40^3 and compare it to 85
Notice
40*40*40=64,000
so we check how many time does 85 fit into 64,000:
64,000/85=752.94
85*753=64,005; 64000-64,005=-5
this means that

thus

Answer: 10 (mod85)
Remark, the set of all solutions is:
{......-75, 10, 95, .....}, that is 85k +10
