The answer is 8 and 3 fourths which would be written as 8 3/4
The answer is -12. R times -6 is -18 and -18 plus -6 is -12
Teddy =X
Dolls= 2x-14
2x-14+X=52
3X-14=52
Add 14
3X=66
Divide by 3
X= 22
Teddy are 22
Dolls 2(22)-14=30
By multiplication, 12*(1/4) = 3
by division, 12/4 = 3
in words, a quarter of 12 is 3
Ok so in order to do this, you have to set up an equation. Let's make a=the score of the first test and b=the score of the second test. (You can choose different variables, it doesn't matter.) It says the sum of the two equals 170. So, a+b=170. It also says that the score of the first was 6 less than the second. This can be shown as a=b-6. Now you can plug this in for a in your original equation. It will look like:
(b-6)+b=170
You can solve for b.
2b-6=170
2b=176
b=88
Since you want a, plug into either equation for b. I'll use the second one.
a=88-6
So, a=82
