Use PEMDAS.
Parenthesis first.
(-15)-(-12)+3-(-9)
Next multiply,
(-15)+12+3+9 (two negatives get you a positive)
Finally, add and subtract:
-15+24=9
You get 9 as your answer.
Hope this helps!
It equals 8 1/8 because 5 + 3 = 8 plus the 1/8
Here is the graphed equation :)
Answer:
12 years younger.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Jan's age be J and Karyn's age be K.

Jan's age 8 years ago is 2/5 of Karyn's age 4 yeaRs from now.

=> 
=> 4K = 48 X 3
=> K= 36.
=> J= 24.
So Jan is 12 years younger.
A diagram must be associated with the question above. Based on what I researched, this is what I got.
The blue sector of the circle is 120 degrees.
area of the blue sector = 1/3 of pi * 2^2
= 4.19cm2
I hope this answer helps.
