Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues
are:
1. x – y = 16 (so
x is the larger number)
2. y / x = 5 / 7
rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:
y = (5/7) x
combining 1 and 2:
x – (5/7) x = 16
(2/7) x = 16
x = 56
y = (5/7) x = 40
So the two numbers are 56 and 40.
When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>
Answer: -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Temperature at 6:00 AM = -12 degrees Fahrenheit
Temperature increased each hour =
degrees Fahrenheit
Temperature increase in 6 hours = 
Temperature at noon = Temperature at 6:00 AM+Temperature increase in 6 hours
= -12+3 degrees Fahrenheit
= -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at noon= -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Answer:
Use the distributive property to solve this equation: a(-b - c) = -ab - ac
Step-by-step explanation:
