Answer:

It can be any negative pair of numbers that when you substitute in the equation you get 2 as an answer,

For example:

x = -17 and y = -19

x= - 5 and y = -7

x= -3 and y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative integers are all the negative numbers or all the numbers below 0.

So, in this case, you have to look for negative numbers that if you put in the equation you get 2.

x-y=2

In this equation it says that you need to subtract y from x, (-y), if y has to be a negative number, if, for example, we say that <em>y = -4</em> then we will have this after substituting in the equation:

x - (-4) = 2

If we have two negative together multiplying like in this case - (-4) then it becomes positive:

-(-4) = +4, because equal sings make a positive.

If we substitute in the original equation we have:

x + 4 = 2

Now we can get the answer for x

x = 2-4

x= - 2

If we send y to the other side of the equation,

x= 2+y, every time we choose a negative number for y we will have a number for x that is y plus 2. This is why you can get any negative number for one variable and then substitute in this equation x= 2+y and get a result for the other variable.

Malik is using a cookbook to make a recipe, but he cannot find his
spayn [35]

Answer:

a. Given a number of tablespoons, find the number of cups:

1. Since he needs 2 cups, he can use 2×16=32 tablespoons.

2.Since he needs 1/2 cup, he can use 1/2×16=8 tablespoons.

He needs 1 1/4 cups. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. 1/4 cup is 1/4×16=4 tablespoons. So altogether he needs 16+4=20 tablespoons.Given a number of cups, find the number of tablespoons:

I already found that 20 tablespoons is 1 1/4 cups. So for 28 tablespoons I need an additional 8 tablespoons, or an additional 1/2 cup. 1 1/4+1/2=1 3/4, so 28 tablespoons gets him 1 3/4 cups. (Alternatively, we might say that 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×28=28/16, which we can rewrite as 1 12/16 or 1 3/4.)

I notice that to convert from tablespoons to cups, I always divide by 16. 6÷16=6/16, which we can write as 1 3/8. (Alternatively, 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×6=6/16, which we can rewrite as 1 3/8.)

Caroline has a movie card worth $75 that her grandfather gave to her for her birthday. After seeing her first movie, the card’s
faust18 [17]

Answer:

f(m) = 75-8m

Step-by-step explanation:

She began with $75.  After the first movie, she had $67 remaining; this means she spent

75-67 = $8

After the second movie, she had $59 remaining; she spent

67-59 = $8

After the third movie, she had $51 remaining; she spent

59-51 = $8

Each movie costs $8.  Letting m represent the number of movies, this gives us 8m.

Since she is spending money, we subtract this from the original amount, $75; this gives us

f(m) = 75-8m
