Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
k = xy
Putting values of x and y in the equation
k = (5)(-3.5)
= - 17.5
Finding value of x when y = 10
k = xy
- 17.5 = x10
Bringing like terms on one side
- 17.5 - 10 = x
-27.5 = x
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
All that is required here is to substitute x = 2x into the right side in the same way that is done for a numeric value.

Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
Is that negative 2 minus 8? if so put that into the calculator and add 8 to both sides and divide by 2 after that. simple algebra
