Answer: X = -36
Step-by-step explanation:
X/-2 = 18 we need to get the variable alone, so we need to get rid of the /-2 to get x alone. And whatever we do to one side we have to do to the other so:
X/-2 = 18
X/-2 • (-2) = 18 • (-2)
The /-2 cancels out so we are left with
X = -36
1/8*4=4/8=1/2--> the correct answer to this equation.
(4,1) is a possible solution. Hope this helps. :)
4.6 because -3.2+1.4=4.6 negative +positive = positive
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A "difference" indicates subtraction is being used. The difference between these 2 numbers is found the same way we find the distance between 2 points on a number line. Since both the difference and the distance have to be positive numbers, the formula to find it is
|a - b| which is the absolute value of a - b.
If a = -52 and b = -79:
| -52 - (-79) | = | -52 + 79 | = 27 OR
If a = -79 and b = -52:
| -79 - (-52) | = | -79 + 52 | = | -27 | = 27
