Let say x = -(-2) where x is the distance of number on number line from 0.
x = -(-2)
x = +2.
Since +2 is positive quantity, positive quantities are written to the right of 0 on number line.
Hence it is 2 units to the right of 0.
Convert the percentage into a decimal


20% of 50 is 40
Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x + 2 = y and y = - 1
Substitute y = - 1 into the equation and solve for x, that is
3x + 2 = - 1 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 1
This is verified by the point on the graph with coordinates (- 1, - 1)
Answer:
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
Im not sure about the percent but as a decimal its <em><u>1.6</u></em>
