30-x=2(x+6)
30 less a number means 30-x and the sum of the number and 6 is x+6
I do not agree. On the contrary, I disagree, and I assert that Kim's statement consists largely of horse feathers. I shall illustrate my position by means of a counter-example:
Let the first two numbers be -12 and -3.
Their quotient is +4.
Now, to the quotient, add the NEGATIVE number -1
The result is +3.
All the numbers Jim used to get the results were negative.
And another thing ! There's no such thing as "interger". Whole numbers are "integers".
The simplest way to do this is to get it into improper fraction form with the same denominator.
First things first, get it into an improper fraction.
7 7/8 = 7*8+7/8 3 1/4 = 3*4+1/4
= 56+7/8 = 12+1/4
= 63/8 = 13/4
The next thing to do is to get the denominators the same by finding the LCF, which could be done by dividing the 63/8 by 4, which would give a decimal as a numerator, so its best to multiply 13/4 by two
The two fraction will then be:
63/8 and 26/8
Seeing as the denominators are the same, you can simply subtract the numerators and simplify, i.e.
63-26/8 = 37/8
= 4 5/8
Hope this makes sense :D
The correct answer is 3/-2
The equation for this would be 4x+3=y where x is months and y is your amount of toys after x months.
plug in 4 for x -> 4(4)+3=y
solve -> 16+3=y
y=19
