6 is the gcf of all those numbers
When we do the additive inverse property...we want to end up with a 0...so the inverse of 7 is -7 and the inverse of -8 is +8....we now have our new expression
-7 + 8

-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
AB + BC = AC = 28
the way from A to C goes through B.
so, the total way of A to C is the sum of the way from A to B and then from B to C.
=>
(5x + 10) + (2x + 25) = 28
7x + 35 = 28
7x = -7
x = -1
