Double negative means a positive. Therefore, the equation is (5/8)+(7/8), which should equal 1.5, or 3/2, or 1 and 1/2.

5/8-(-7/8)
you multiply what is in the brackets by the negative sign.
5/8+7/8 (it is important to note that 2 negatives make a positive)
5/8+7/8=12/8
12/8=6/4
6/4=3/2
3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2

hope this helps :)

Solve equation 3x-5y=7 5x-2y=-1 by elimination
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

x = -1, y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the elimination method,

multiply the first eqn by 2 and the 2nd eqn by 5.

6x - 10y = 14

25x - 10y = -5

Subtract one of the new equations from the other

-19x = 19

x = -1

Sub x=-1 into the 2nd eqn

-5 - 2y = -1

y = -2

Hence x = -1, y = -2.
