Answer:
they don't respect the signs
Step-by-step explanation:
when you have a problem like the one above you have to put parentheses to the negative numbers either to add or subtract them, there is where the sign rule comes in
That's an expression, so the only thing you can do is simplify it, but that already looks simplified.
Answer:
The answer would be 2.7. Am not very sure though
Step-by-step explanation:
So what you do is
for example the unkown number is x and the answer you get is y
12-x=y * -15=-140
-140/-15=9.33 (this is y the answer)
12-x=9.3
12-9.3=2.7
To check your answer
12-2.7=9.3
9.3 * -15=-139.5 if you round it then it would be -140
the correct answer is -448
X is Kevin; Y is Dan
X = 3Y
X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
+ 4 +4
4 cancels each other out.
3Y = 5Y - 16
- 5 -5
5 cancels each other out.
-2Y = -16
/2 /2
Y = 8
X = 3Y;
X = 3 x 8;
Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24
