If Steven sold two boxes of candy less than Rodney and they sold 8 boxes, you can calculate how many boxes did each sell using the following steps:
Steven ... s = r - 2
Rodney ... r
s + r = 8
r - 2 + r = 8
2 * r = 8 + 2
2 * r = 10 /2
r = 5
s = r - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3
Result: Steven sold 3 boxes of candy and Rodney sold 5 boxes of candy.
You would have to set you problem up like
x 40
____=_____
720 100
you would multiply 40 by 720 then you would divide 28,800 by 100 your answer will be 288.
For the answer to the question above, I'll provide my solutions to my answers for the problem below.
(–2x3y2 + 4x2y3 – 3xy4) – (6x4y – 5x2y3 – y5)
(−2x3)(y2)+4x2y3+−3xy4+−1(6x4y)+−1(−5x2y3)+−1(−y5)
(−2x3)(y2)+4x2y3+−3xy4+−6x4y+5x2y3+y5
−2x3y2+4x2y3+−3xy4+−6x4y+5x2y3+y5
−2x3y2+4x2y3+−3xy4+−6x4y+5x2y3+y5
(−6x4y)+(−2x3y2)+(4x2y3+5x2y3)+(−3xy4)+(y5)
−6x4y+−2x3y2+9x2y3+−3xy4+y5
So the answer is,
= <span><span><span><span><span>−<span><span>6x4</span>y</span></span>−<span><span>2x3</span>y2</span></span>+<span><span>9x2</span>y3</span></span>−<span>3xy4</span></span>+y5</span>
I hope this helps
The Correct answer to it is -14 - (-6) = - 8
