Sounds like you’re dealing with absolute value.
1. Cookies
2. Bananas
3. Bananas and ice cream are the closest
First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.
-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18
Then, we combine the two equations.
-4x + 4x = 0
18y - 36y = -18y
-27 + 18 = -9
Our new equation is -18y = -9.
Now, divide both sides by -18.
-18y / -18 = y
-9/ -18 = 1/2
y = 1/2
We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.
Let's use 2x + 18y = -9
Plug in y.
2x + 18(1/2) = -9
2x + 9 = -9
Then, subtract 9 from both sides.
2x = -18
Divide by 2.
2x/2 = x
-18/2 = -9
x = -9
Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.
2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9
-18 + 9 = -9
Therefore, the values of x and y does work.
x = -9
y = 1/2
5 times a number plus two is 17
5(x) + 2 = 17
isolate the x, do the opposite of PEMDAS
(Note: What you do to one side you do to the other, because of equal sign)
5x + 2 (-2) = 17 (-2)
5x = 15
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 3
hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
12.09 - 8.30 = 3.79
The reason why her answer was wrong is because when the '2' gets slashed into a '1' during carry over, it would have been 11 - 8 = 3 instead of a 4. (the 1st column)
The error that Juanita made is that she made a computational error when subtracting.
the rise over run is 15/40 so the slope of the airplanes ascent is 0.375 feet per foot is move forward
