-24+8 = -16

you do 24 - 8 which equals 16 and since it’s -24 and not 24, you add a minus in front of 16 because it’s a negative number :)

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the systems of equations with their solutions.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation for matching pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

(1)

$x - y = 25$

$2x + 3y = 180$

(2)

$2x - 3y = -5$

$11x + y = 550$

(3)

$x - y = 19$

$-12x + y = 168$

Solutions

$(-17,-36)$

$(47, 33)$

$(51, 26)$

Required

Match equations with solutions

(1) $x - y = 25$ and $2x + 3y = 180$

Make x the subject in: $x - y = 25$

$x = 25 + y$

Substitute $x = 25 + y$ in $2x + 3y = 180$

$2(25 + y) + 3y = 180$

$50 + 2y + 3y = 180$

$50 + 5y = 180$

Collect like terms

$5y = 180-50$

$5y = 130$

Solve for y

$y =26$

Recall that: $x = 25 + y$

$x = 25 + 26$

$x = 51$

So:

$(x,y) = (51,26)$

(2) $2x - 3y = -5$ and $11x + y = 550$

Make y the subject in $11x + y = 550$

$y = 550 - 11x$

Substitute $y = 550 - 11x$ in $2x - 3y = -5$

$2x - 3(550 - 11x) = -5$

$2x - 1650 + 33x = -5$

Collect like terms

$2x + 33x = -5+1650$

$35x = 1645$

Solve for x

$x = 47$

Solve for y in $y = 550 - 11x$

$y = 550 - 11 * 47$

$y = 550 - 517$

$y = 33$

So:

$(x,y) = (47,33)$

(3)

$x - y = 19$ and $-12x + y = 168$

Make y the subject in $-12x + y = 168$

$y = 168 + 12x$

Substitute $y = 168 + 12x$ in $x - y = 19$

$x - 168 - 12x = 19$

Collect like terms

$x -12x = 168 + 19$

$-11x = 187$

Solve for x

$x = -17$

Solve for y in $y = 168 + 12x$

$y =168-12 *17$

$y =-36$

So:

$(x,y) = (-17,-36)$

How can you express a clear and coherent argument visually or in writing?

Vikki [24]

Let's say you have an idea that you want to present in writing. For an argument to be valid, it must have supporting evidence. An argument would just be useless if it did not have any documents or laws that would be supporting its justification. To say for example, I wanted to argue that the law of conservation of energy is not true. If I don't show actual evidence of energy being created, then that would leave me with an unclear, and most possibly invalid argument.

Write the fraction in simple form 6 over 8

astraxan [27]

Answer:3/4

Step-by-step explanation:In order to simplify 6/8 you divide the top and the bottom by 2 because it is the only number that can evenly be divided into both numbers.

6/2=3
