X * y = -48
x + y = 8
y = -48/x
x -48/x = 8
x^2 - 48 = 8x
x^2 - 8x -48 = 0
x = 12
y = -4
You can start by drawing a number line and labeling it with eighths. ( 1/8, 2/8, etc.) Then you can place a dot on 3/8 and 5/8. From there, it's clear to see that 5/8 is greater than 3/8.
Answer:
a = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.
2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.
now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.
3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)
4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.
(-46a=-46)
5.divide by -46 to get a=1

Answer:
<u>-7b-7</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to distribute 11 throughout the parentheses.
Now we can combine like terms. (-18b, 11b, -33, 26)
and 
This is your simplified answer for your expression.
<u>-7b-7</u>
