Step-by-step explanation:
distribute the -2 to (x+1) you end up with -2x-2=8 (multiplication property). Add 2 to both sides to get rid of the -2 of the left (addition property). 8+2=10. -2x=10 divide the -2 to both sides. x=-5 (division property).
Answer:
I believe the correct answer is C. The value of the comic book decreased by an average of $0.04 each month between m = 36 and m = 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Since the larger number is a negative, you’re going to get a negative solution for number one. An easy way to do the math is to ignore the negative sign in (-116) For a moment. And subtract 56 from it.
116 - 56 = 60. Don’t forget to place the negative sign we pushed to this side before the solution. The answer is -60.
2) We do the same thing we did in number one, but with new numbers. The answer in total is -178.
3. As stated, we do the same thing we did in number one. Just because there’s a decimal doesn’t change much. And your answer would be -1.1
