Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
+(+) Two like signs become a positive sign 3+(+2) = 3 + 2 = 5
−(−) 6−(−3) = 6 + 3 = 9
+(−) Two unlike signs become a negative sign 7+(−2) = 7 − 2 = 5
−(+) 8−(+2) = 8 − 2 = 6
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
if we evaluate the expression it will look like :
3x + 14 = 8
and if we solve it:
3x+14=8
Step 1: Subtract 14 from both sides.
3x+14−14=8−14
3x=−6
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/3 = -6/3
x= −2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion could be used.
With 2 parts of compost and 6 parts potting soil, you would end up with 8 total parts.
So it can be written as a ratio of compost to total mix, or 
The problem states 10 kg are needed in total, and the variable would be the amount of compost
As a ratio it would be
.
Use the ratios to write a proportion.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10

Convert to a decimal if desired.
