The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.
I have two other ways:
Way #1:
5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.
We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.
There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.
Way #2:
-- Get 2 friends to help you.
-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.
-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.
-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.
-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.
Here is your answer:
In order to find the answer you must first find the absolute value of each number, then order them from least to greatest.
Therefore the answer is "-12,0,13,14,16,17."
Hope this helps!
Answer: y+6x = -34
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
y-2= -6(x+6) (<u><em>Ax+By=C is the goal)</em></u>
y-2= -6x-36 <u>(-6) x & (-6) 6</u>
y=-6x-34 (Add 2 to both sides)
<em>y+6x = -34 [Add 6x to both sides]</em>
42 = 2(W+L)
21= (W+L)
L= 3+5W)
21= W +(3+5W)
21= 3+6W
21-3=6W
18=6W
W=18/6
=3
Answer:
w = PERIMETER/2 - LENGTH
<u>w = 42/2 - (3+5w)</u>
PS. I THINK THIS IS RIGHT. NOT TOO SURE, BUT MOST LIKELY.
