Plug in -2 where the x is and -3 where the m's are 
xm becomes -2*-3 which equals 6 and 2m becomes 2*-3 which equals -6
now we have the equation 6-(-6) which we could turn into 6+6
so the answer is 12, the person who said 0 made a mistake.
when subtracting a negative from a positive, you will always get a positive<span />

Xm-2m
(-2)(-3)-2(-3)
12

The equation can be simplified to 12. I'm not sure how you got 0, but at a guess, you messed up your signs when multiplying. Hope this helps!

A cleaner recommends mixing 1½ cup of cleaner for every 12 cups of water. What is the ratio of cleaner to water in simplest form
Pavlova-9 [17]
1.5 cleaner / 12 cups of water
or
1.5 cleaner : 12 cups of water
to reduce this ratio of 1.5:12, we need to divide both by the same number

1.5 divided by 1.5 is 1
12 divided by 1.5 is 8

So the ratio of cleaner to water is 1:8 in its simplest form or 1 part cleaner to 8 parts water.

Hope this helps!!  :)

4(2x + 3) ÷ 5y
Murrr4er [49]
I won’t give a actual answer to the equation, because I want you and anyone else to learn it. but I do want to help!

the sum is the answer to a addition problem. that means you should choose anything that falls under that.

The term is anything that is being separated by + or - so for this, choose anything like that.

The product is the final answer to a multiplication problem.

Factor- any number leading up to a answer in a problem. Example: 3 times 4 is 12. The 3 and the 4 are the factors.

Quotient- the final answer to a division problem.

Coefficient- the number separated from the rest of the problem or the number at the beginning of the problem that stands alone. Because this one is a bit harder to explain, I’ll go ahead and tell you it is 4.

Variable- the unknown number such as y or x.




I hope this helps, and good luck!! :)
