Answer:
You can get a negative 5 if you subtract -7 minus -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the ratio by $5.35
racket : balls = 18×$5.35 : 1×$5.35 = $96.30 : $5.35
The racket costs $96.30.

Answer: 18</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
2 cm on paper (or on screen) represents 3 meters in real life.
The backyard is 2 cm horizontally across on the screen, so it's 3 meters across in real life. This is the shorter dimension.
The longer dimension is 6 meters. We can think of it like this
2 cm : 3 meters
2*2 cm : 2*3 meters .... multiply both sides by 2
4 cm : 6 meters
The real backyard is 6 meters by 3 meters to give an area of 6*3 = 18 square meters.
So,
"The sum of five times a number and -6"
5n + -6 or 5n - 6
"is -2"
= -2
5n - 6 = -2
Add 6 to both sides.
5n = 4
Divide both sides by 5.
Answer:

40 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the Jill comic books.
Given:
Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.



Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.
--------(1)
Now we solve above equation for x.
Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.


Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.


Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
