Answer:

-9 is your answer for b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also note the rule that if you have a positive sign & a negative sign next to each other, the resulting sign would be negative:

b + (-17) = -26

b - 17 = -26

Isolate the variable (b). Add 17 to both sides:

b - 17 (+17) = -26 (+17)

b = -26 + 17

Simplify:

b = -26  + 17

b = -9

-9 is your answer for b.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember the rules:

Addition sign + Positive number = Add (Ex: 7 + 7 = 14)

Addition sign + Negative number = Subtract (Ex: 7 + (-7) = 7 - 7 = 0)

Subtraction sign + Positive number = Subtract (Ex: -3 +  4 = 4 - 3 = 1)

Subtraction sign + Subtraction sign = Add (Ex: 5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10)

Solve for x in the equation x^2+4x-4=8
quester [9]
I will get you started.

x^2+4x-4 = 8

x^2 + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0

You must now use the quadratic formula.

In the formula, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.

Take it from here.

An animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Anna noticed that the shelt
Mama L [17]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using a system of equation in two unknowns.

Let b = number of birds.

Let c = number of cats.

The care of a bird costs $5.50, so for b number of birds, the cost of care is 5.5b.

The care of a cat costs $8.50, so for c number of cats, the cost of care is 8.5c.

The total cost of care for the birds and cats is 5.5b + 8.5c.

The total cost of care is $291.50. This must equal the expression we have above, so we get our first equation.

5.5b + 8.5c = 291.5

The total number of birds and cats is b + c, but we are told it is 41, so our second equation is:

b + c = 41

We now have the following system of two equations in two unknowns.

5.5b + 8.5c = 291.5

b + c = 41

Rewrite the first equation.

Multiply both sides of the second equation by -8.5, and write it under the first equation. Then add the equations.

      5.5b + 8.5c = 291.5

+    -8.5b - 8.5c = -348.50

--------------------------------------

        -3b            = -57

Divide both sides of the equation by -3.

b = 19

Answer: there were 19 birds
