Use a number line if you need 4/10 - 6/10 = -2/10a simpler way is to do the opposite 6/10 - 4/10 = 2/10  then the answer would be the opposite as well. so, -2/10

It's going to become a negative number. You have to change the subtraction sign to addition, then take the second term and change it to a negative. Then you add it. Since one is positive and the other is negative, you have to subtract the absolute values ( just the number without the negative sign) which ever Nemertea has the greater absolute value, that sign is going to be the sign for the answer. I know it's long and confusing. Sorry

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Number of white chocolate bars = x

Number of dark chocolate bars = y

Total bars = 15

x + y = 15 --------------(I)

Total cost = Php. 340

20x + 25y = 340 ----------------(II)

2)  We can use elimination method to solve this equations.

Multiply equation (I) by (-20) and then add the equations.

(I)* (-20)          -20x  -20y = - 300

(II)                    <u>20x + 25y = 340 </u>     {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                                  5y = 40

                                    y = 40/5

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 in equation (I)

x + 8 = 15

      x = 15 - 8

x = 7

3) Number of dark chocolate bars = 8

-4x + 6 = 3x - 36<br><br> How do I solve this
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4x + 6 = 3x - 36

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add 4x to both sides: 6 = 7x - 36
  2. Add 36 to both sides: 42 = 7x
  3. Divide both sides by 7: x = 6

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-4(6) + 6 = 3(6) - 36

-24 + 6 = 18 - 36

-18 = -18
