All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
to evaluate for x in this this question -5x-(8-x)=12
the firsst step, you would open the bracket with - then evaluate for the value of x
solution
-5x-(8-x)=12
-5x -8 + x = 12
combine the like terms
-5x + x = 12 + 8
-4x = 20
divide both sides by the coefficient of x
-4x/-4 = 20/-4
x = -5
Assuming the interest is simple interest, as opposed to compound interest,
Their slopes would be the same but their positions or points ( if the lines were on a graph) would be different.
5 quarters =1.25$
15$÷1.25$=12
then 15$ in quaters would weigh 12 ounces
