Step-by-step explanation:
x = hours Ali was charged for
150 + 50 x = 375
- 150 -150
50x = 225
÷ 50. ÷50
x = 4.5 hours
You will flip the signs when you have to multiply or divide your equation by a negative integer.
-1 - (-7) = 6
5 - (-1) = 6
11 - 5 = 6
The common difference is 6.
If you add 6 to a term, you get the next term.

First, convert your mixed numbers into improper fractions, so 8+3/8=69/8 and 2+1/3=7/3. Now you have 69/8=r-(7/3). Now, add 7/3 to both sides, so (69/8)+(7/3)=r. Now, just add your fractions, so (69/8)+(7/3)=207/24+56/24=(207+56)/24=263/24. If you need to, this can be converted back into the mixed number 10+23/24.
