6 - (-2) - 3(-5) = (6 + 2) + 15 = 8 + 15 = 23

Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:
Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:
We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:
Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

Answer: f(x) = x/2 + 4.
where f(x) is the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is:
"Tom has four more than half the stamps that Myrna has"
For how is written, we can model the number of stamps that Tom has as a function f(x).
f(x) represents the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.
Then:
"four more than a number" is written as:
N + 4 (where N is the number)
"Half the stamps that Myrna has" is written as:
x/2.
Then the whole statement can be modeled as:
f(x) = x/2 + 4.
notice that we have x/2, and f(x) must be a whole number, so Myrna must have an even number of stamps (in that case x/2 will be integer)
Answer: 4x=3y, 8x=6y
Step-by-step explanation: We can use a simplified form of an equation for this specific problem, since a solution is (3,4), if you plugin 3 for x and 4 for y you get the same thing. Since 4 times 3 equals 3 times 4 you can call x as 4 and y as 3. You can simply multiply this by 2 for another equation since it doesn't affect the ratio. I hope this helps!
