-(4)-2 = -4-2= -6
Hope that helps you
The answer would be 3x^2 I think.
-1/3 m - 7 = 5
add 7 to each side
-1/3 m = 12
multiply by -3 to each side
m = -36
Since the question is asking how many pencils the teacher will have to give out, we can automatically ignore the 46 erasers from the problem because it is not relevant. The information was most likely put there to confuse you.
Each student is getting 28 pencils, so if we multiply the number of students by 28 pencils, we will find how many pencils the teacher will need to give out.
There are 42 children in the classroom, so multiply 42 by 28.
42 * 28 = 1,176
The teacher will have to give out <u>1,176 pencils</u> to her 42 children in the classroom.
5000, would be your answer.
