Nice use of brackets. We know exactly what you mean.
(10 - 7 + 2) / (-2 + 1) Notice that with an even number of - signs, you get a plus and with and odd number you get a minus.
(5) / (-1) = - 5 answer
Edit
Numerator
10 does not change.
+ - 7 Here a plus and a minus are put together. There is 1 minus sign which is an odd number of minus signs so the 7 is minus
- - 2 Here there are 2 minus signs. They become plus because 2 is even, and an even number of minuses become a plus so you have +2
10 - 7 + 2 = 5
Denominator
-2 does not change. It remains minus 2.
- - 1 There are 2 minus signs so this becomes plus 1.
- 2 + 1 = - 1
Numerator over denominator = 5/-1 = - 5. I'll probably run out of editing time. If you still don't understand, try and pinpoint the problem and we'll keep trying until you do see it. This question is worth it.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3:4, 6:8, 9,12
So 12:15 is the same thing as 12/15 you need to simplify so 12 devided by 2 is 4 and 15 divided by 3 is 5 so question to is 4:5
For an instance, i stands for the money that you have, and b stands for the money that brother has.
An equation system based on the problem would be
i + b = 42 (equation 1)
i = 3b (equation 2)
Use substitution method to solve the problem
substitute 3b into i in the equation 1
i + b = 42
3b + b = 42
4b = 42
b = 42/4
b = 10.5
substitute the value of b into the equation 1
i = 3b
i = 3(10.5)
i = 31.5
You have $31.5 and your brother has $10.5
Answer:
3710
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1/5 of an apple is consumed in three days, we would do 3 x 5, which would give us 15. That means it takes 15 days for the ant farm to consume 1 apple. Times that by three, and it takes an ant farm 45 days to consume 3 apples.
