Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive integer. Adding a positive integer to any number always makes the answer larger than the original number. Therefore, if you subtract one negative integer from another your answer will be always be *greater* than the integer you started with.
9 1/3 / 2/3
9 1/3 = 28/3
28/3 / 2/3
28/3 x 3/2
84/6

Answer:
D. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the odds of an events can be found by dividing the probability that an event will occur by the probability that the event will not occur.
Probability of an event not occurring can be found by subtracting probability of the event occurring from 1.
We have been given that probability of an event is 2/7.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,
Therefore, the odds of the same event are and option D is the correct choice.
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
<h2><u><em>
This would be the SSS theorem.</em></u></h2>
The reason would be because the diagram shows already that the two sides are congruent to the other two sides. The line in the middle is congruent to itself. (Reflexive Property) Because we now have three congruent sides, we can say that the SSS theorem proves the two triangles congruent
