Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2

Answer:
-14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to turn each mixed number into an improper fraction. So you get -10/3 + 12/5. Then you want to get the same denominator, and the LCD happens to be 15. You get -50/15 + 36/15. Addition is commutative, so you can do something like this: 36/15 - 50/15. You can do 36-50=-14, and then add the denominator to get -14/15.
