-(z + (-17)) = 12 + 17
-(z - 17) = 12 + 17
Distribute -1:
-z + 17 = 12 + 17
Subtract 17 to both sides:
-z = 12
Multiply -1 to both sides:
z = -12
3(x-8)=12
I got this equation since there are three of the "x-8" sections that add up to the twelve length bar above
-1 1/4 as a decimal would be -1.25.
Since -1 is a whole number we would just write that as -1. 1/4 as a decimal is .25.
