Hey there,

8/(-4) = -2.

-12 + 20 equals 8 so we will divide that by that answer.

Which concludes that -2 is your correct answer.

-12 + 20 = 8

then divide the answer by -4

8/(-4) = -2

when you divide a negative number, the answer will be the opposite sign of the numerator

-2 is your answer

hope this helps

Janice is thinking of two numbers. She says that two times the first number plus the second number is 47. In addition, the firs

Whitepunk [10]

Let the numbers be x and y, then
2x + y = 47 . . . (1)
x + 3y = 56 . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = 112 . . . (3)

(1) - (3) => -5y = -65 => y = -65/-5 = 13
From (2), x + 3(13) = 56 => x = 56 - 39 = 17

The two numbers are 13 and 17.

Two friends shop for fresh fruit. Elena buys a watermelon for $7.45 and 3 pounds ofcherries. Taniy buys a pineapple for $3.35 an

Scrat [10]

Let's use the variable E to represent the total value spent by Elena and T to represent the total value spent by Taniy.

If Elena spent $7.45 plus the cost of 3 pounds of cherries, the expression for the amount she spent is:

$E=7.45+3p$

Taniy spent $3.35 plus the cost of 2 pounds of cherries, so the expression for the amount the spent is:

$T=3.35+2p$

To find how much more Elena spent, let's subtract both expressions:

$\begin{gathered} E-T\\ \\ =7.45+3p-(3.35+2p)\\ \\ =7.45+3p-3.35-2p\\ \\ =4.1+p \end{gathered}$

Therefore the answer is 4.1 + p.
