Let x = times in the pool
Let y = times in the basketball courts
42=3x+5y
x+y=12
Therefore y = 12-x
Subsitute for y
42 = 3x + 5(12-x)
42 = 3x + 60 -5x
Subtract 60
-18 = -2x
9 = x
The person used the pool 9 times.
I'm not exactly sure of what you mean, but if the number (for example) were 2,3, and 6 you could say 2 and 6 multiply to get 6 and 6 divided by 2 would be 3 and so on. You could do this with any operation. Hope this helps, and sorry if this wasa little unclear.
- 5/12 + ( - 1/4) =
Adding two negatives results in a negative
-1/4 = -3/12
-3/12 + -5/12 = -8/12
-8/12 + 3/12 < Subtract and take the sign of the BIGGER number.
8 - 3 = 5
- 5/12
Answer: - 5/12

He bought approximately 16 pigs.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625
