Answer:

googles explanation is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule 3: Subtracting a negative number from a negative number – a minus sign followed by a negative sign, turns the two signs into a plus sign. So, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive. Basically, - (-4) becomes +4, and then you add the numbers. For example, say we have the problem -2 - –4.

Their total points for the first 10 games were

(10) x (35) = 350 total .

Their total points after 11 games were

(11) x (33) = 363 total .

They must have scored (363 - 350) = 13 points in that 11th game.

5m+72=−2m+52 A -1 B -1/7 C 6/7 D 7

shtirl [24]

<span>First we add 2m to both sides, leaving 7m + 72 = 52 (since -2m + 2m cancels out). Next, we subtract 72 from both sides, bringing us to 7m = -20. Solving for m, we get -20/7. Since this is not one of the listed options, it is possible that the original poster has made a typographical error.</span>
