Since you are adding both negatives then it will just stay negative. For example -1-1=-2

Answer:

because adding a negative is the same thing as subtracting a positive, so the answer will be further negative than where it started.

also, you can tell because even if the 24 was positive, -38 is more negative than 24 is positive, so either way the answer will be negative.

How do u solve <br> 1×-2y=4<br> -1×+10y=8
Molodets [167]

Answer: x = -8 ; y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1*x-2*y=4

1*x = 4 + 2*y

x = 4 + 2*y

Now you replace the value of x on the following equation:

-1*x+10*y=8

-1*(4 + 2*y) = 8

-4 - 2*y = 8

-2*y = 8+4

-2*y = 12

y = -12/2

y = -6

You replace the value of y in the previous equation:

x = 4 + 2*y

x = 4 + 2*(-6)

x = 4 - 12

x = -8

If a physician order is 25% dextrose 1000 mL and all you have is 70% dextrose 1000 mL and 5% dextrose how much 70% dextrose will
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1000ml Of Dextrose 25% is needed to be produced from Dextrose 70%. Let us assume that x ml of Dextrose 70% is mixed with a Dextrose 5% to get 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%. Hence:

The amount of Dextrose 5% = 1000 ml - x ml = 1000 - x

25% of 1000 ml = 70% of x + 5% of (1000 - x)

25000 = 70x + 5000 - 5x

Simplifying gives:

65x = 25000 - 5000

65x = 20000

x = 308 ml

Therefore 308 ml of Dextrose 70% was mixed with 692 ml of Dextrose 5% to produce 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%.
