Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it, so this is basically just negative 8 plus 6, which is -2. Don't know who was right though, you kinda left that part of the question out.
Y= Mx+b
In the equation of a straight line,the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b<span>" is the </span>y<span>-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical </span>y<span>-axis).</span>
Let the number be y.
One third of y = (1/3)*y = y/3
This is decreased by 6; y/3 - 6
And it equals 8
That means:
y/3 - 6 = 8
y/3 = 8 + 6
y/3 = 14
y = 3*14
y = 42
The number is 42.
I hope this helps.
I would have to guess a bar graph, because it would calculate and compare the amounts to each person, but that would just be my guess.
Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!
