M - 12 = -3
You would be able to find what m is by finding a number that can subtract 12 and get -3.
Hope this helps and have a nice day!!!
Answer:
First, 3 people divide $30, then each one of them pays:
$30/3 = $10.
Each one of them gets $1 in refound.
Then at the moment, each one of them paid $9, and there are 3 friends, so the total amount is 3*$9 = $27.
We also know that the cashier keeps $2, but these $2 must come from the $27 that the friends paid.
Then we will have $27 = $25 + $2.
This means that the total cost was $25, and the cashier kept $2 as a tip.
Now, in your problem, you add the $2 that the cashier kept to the $27 that the friends paid. While those $2 actually are already counted in the $27 that the friends paid.
For this case, what we are going to do is use the following property:
Multiply an equation by a scalar.
In this case, the scalar will be:
k = -2
We have then that equation 2 will be:
k * (4x + y) = k * 1
-2 * (4x + y) = - 2 * 1
-8x-2y = -2
Answer:
The property that justifies this manipulation is:
Multiply an equation by a scalar.
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
by finding the exact value.
This one you can't really make a formula for or anything, but it's fairly simple to figure out, with a bit of guess and check.
14 is really close to 15, but that's bigger, so let's try a smaller number that would work.
It has to be divisible by 2, because you've got a whole number that is 3 1/2 times the other number. (1/2 of a whole number means it's divisible by 2).
10 is divisible by 2,
10 ÷ 2 = 5
But, 10 x 3 = 30 which is much bigger than 14.
So, we've got to start with a smaller number.
Let's try something really small, like 4. We could try 2, but 2 x 3 = 6, which, even with 1/2 of 2, isn't nearly close to 14.
Now, 4 x 3 = 12
That's quite close to 14.
And 1/2 of 4 is 2.
All we do now is add 12 to 2 and see if it works.
12 + 2 = 14
14 = 14
This one works.
That means that Gina volunteered for 4 hours, because 3 1/2 x 4 = 14.
