B) negative. Is the answer
Answer:
y=19/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 3. Divide 5375 by 4 to get 1343.75. Remainder for each friend is .75, so multiply .75 by 4. 3 cards left over.
-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17
Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.
(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17
Combine like terms (-4 + 5).
-4x + 1 = 17
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-4x = 16
Divide both sides by -4.
x = -4
