-400-(-700)
-140+700
= 300
I hope that's help ! If you have question(s) please let me know
Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)
What you need to do is find the greatest amount (1) and the lowest amount (1/4) of sap collected and the find how many times the lowest can go into the greatest. (So how many times can 1/4 go into 1). I believe that this is how you would do that.
<span>If x = Jamal's age , 2x = Wilma's age , x - 3 = Tim's age.
The sum of the ages is 17.
Jamal's age is 5
Wilma's age is 10
Tim's age is 2
Hope this helps!</span>
7 is the number increased by 5 = 12
