Consider number 17. You know that

17=9+8.

Then for negative numbers you have the same rule (with respect to sign -):

-17=(-9)+(-8).

Since (-9)+9=9+(-9)=9-9=0, you have that

-17+9=(-9)+(-8)+9=(-9+9)+(-8)=0+(-8)=-8.

Answer: -17=(-9)+(-8).

  • 369.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

126 mi/h = (126 mi)/(1 h)·(5280 ft)/(1 mi)·(1 h)/(3600 s) = (126·5280/3600) ft/s

126 mi/h = 184.8 ft/s = 924/5 ft/s

X+y=7;x+2y=11<br>Solve by substitution <br>steps must.​
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 7    ------------(I)

     y = 7 - x  ------------(II)

x + 2y = 11 --------------(III)

Substitute y = 7 - x in equation (III)

x + 2 * (7 -x) = 11

x + 2*7 - 2*x = 11

x + 14 - 2x = 11

x - 2x + 14 = 11

- x + 14 = 11

Subtract 14 from both side

-x = 11 - 14

-x = -3

Multiply both sides by (-1)

x = 3

Substitute x=3 in equation (II)

y = 7 - 3

y = 4
