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).

Answer:

  28%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the fractional increase in the number of mathletes, and if problem-solving speed is jointly proportional to their speed and their number, we want ...

  (1 +25%)(1 +x) = (1 +60%)

  1 +x = 1.60/1.25 = 1.28

  x = 0.28 = 28%

The team size must increase by 28% to solve all of the problems on time.

A total of 273 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student t
Natalija [7]
X = adult tickets
y = student tickets
x + y = 273
2x = y

In order to solve this, use substitution:
x + 2x = 273
3x = 273 (divide by 3 on both sides)
x = 91 adult tickets

If you want to check your answer, plug in your answer into the second equation and then use both answers for the first equation:
2x = y
2(91) = y
y = 182 student tickets
x + y = 273
91 + 182 = 273
273 = 273 (If both sides are the same value, this means your answer is correct.)

Best of luck, friend.
