Answer:
y=-1/2x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is -1/2 beware this is a negitive slope so it goes down like this \
go one up and go to the left 2 times and connect the dots
x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.
since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

-2(-9)+3
18+3
21
Explanation: -2(-9) When multiplying numbers that have both a negative sign, the answer is positive. Multiply normally.

-6(-4)0
24(0)
0
Explanation: -6(-4) As I explained before, the answer would be positive.
24(0) Every number multiplied by 0 is 0.

56+(-7)
49
Explanation: 56+(-7) Any problem like this is just basically going to be 56-7.

-36+(-4)
-40
Explanation: -36+(-4) You are simply adding normally then adding the sign. This will only work if the signs are the same. (Signs are positive and negative.)
First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now
2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4
At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real.
Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result.
For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196
No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.
So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to
x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values
Answer:
3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
19.9 = 9y - 8
+8 +8
27.9= 9y
/9 /9
3.1 = y
Check:
9(3.1) - 8 =
27.9 - 8 = 19.9
