Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
the multiplication of -×- will be + so if-×-will be plus then -7 after multiplying will be + so
_2+7=5
Since Jackie has 1/3 and Steven has 4/12 we add them together
4/12+1/3= 2/3
Together they have 2/3 of a Hershey Bar
Divide by 5 each side
X+2=4
Subtract 2 from each side
X=2
5(2+2)=20
Does work
In algebra when isolating (leaving alone on one side) x, you do the opposite operation, thus multiplying when you are trying to get rid of a division and vice versa
Consider, please, this solution/explanation:
1. suppose, that number of cars is 'x', numbers of buses is 'y'.
2. according to the condition 'a total of 32', it means that x+y=32. This is the 1st equation.
3. according to the condition in one car are 3x persons, in one bus are 27y persons, and totaly 3x+27y=408 people. This is the 2d equation.
4. if to solve the system of two equations:

Answer: 13 - b., 19 - c.
