So a diver went 25.65 ft BELOW so it's negative.
then he went 16.5 ft further down, so that's negative also.
he then rose 12.45 ft, so that's positive.
so the expression is: -25.65+-16.5+12.45, the answer is 23.7
What is being solved for is r.
1 to 3
Since you know that he landed on tails 8 out of 32 times, he must have flipped heads for the flips he did not flip tails. So, subtract 32 minus 8, which equals 24, and your answer is 8 to 24. Simplify this like you would with a fraction; the greatest common factor is 8 so divide the "numerator" and the "denominator" by 8. Therefore your final answer is 1 to 3.
7 + 2x - 6 = -3x - 3 - 4
2x + 1 = -3x - 3 - 4
2x + 1 = -3x - 7
2x + 1 + 3x = -7
5x + 1 = -7
5x = -7 - 1
5x = -8
x = -8/5.
