Answer:

- 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that - (- 12) = + 12

Thus

- 17 - (- 12) = - 17 + 12 = - 5

It looks like Tom subtracted 12 from - 17, that is - 17 - 12 = - 29

The answer is:

x=-8

Because:

If you pick a number(-8) to fill in the equation written below

5x+20+5x=5x-20

After applying the -8 to x you get

-40+20-40=-40-20

When you simply the both sides you get

-60=-60

And that’s right -60 is equal to -60!

Answer:

2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

9 5/12 - 6 7/12

We will need to borrow from the 9

8 12/12 + 5/12 - 6  7/12

8 17/12 - 6 7/12

(8-6) + (17/12 -7/12)

Need help with all And have to show work
kari74 [83]
Altho' I can easily guess what you're supposed to do here, I must point out that you haven't included the instructions for this problem.

I'll help you by example.  Let's look at the first problem:

"Evaluate  6(z-1) at z-4."

Due to "order of operations" rules, we must do the work inside the parentheses FIRST.  Replace the z inside (z-1) with "-4".  We obtain

6(-4-1) = 6(-5) = -30 (answer.)

Your turn.  Try the next one.  If it's unclear, as questions.
