Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4t+15=-1
Subtract 15 on both sides:
-4t=-16
Divide -4 on both sides:
t=-4
3m - 5p = 12
3m(-3m) -5p = (-3m)+ 12
-5p = -3m + 12
(-5)/-5p = (-5)/ (-3m + 12)
p = 3/5m + 12/-5
add them both then you get the awnser if the four is not a negative. if the four is a negative use division.
Keep note of these things before we start:
-Of is a keyword that tells us multiplication is being done
-x = total number of pages
-32% = 32/100 = .32
Okay, here we go:
32% of total number of pages = 80
.32 of x = 80
.32*x = 80
.32x = 80
.32x/.32 = 80/.32
x = 250
There are 250 pages in total in Katie's book.
To find out how many pages she has to read (y), subtract the pages read from the total:
TOTAL - PAGES READ = PAGES LEFT TO READ
250 - 80 = y
170 = y
Katie has 170 pages left to read
Hope this helps!
