Z - (-9) is the same as z + 9. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.
Therefore
17 = z - (-9)
is the same as
17 = z + 9
To get 'z' all by itself, we need to subtract 9 from both sides. We subtract 9 from both sides to undo the "plus 9" occurring to the 'z' on the right side.
17 = z + 9
17-9 = z + 9=9 ... subtracting 9 from both sides
8 = z
z = 8
So the answer is z = 8
---------------------------
Check:
17 = z - (-9)
17 = 8 - (-9) ... replace z with 8
17 = 8 + 9
17 = 17
Answer checks out
Let the positive number be
The expression is
⇒ expanding the bracket gives,
⇒ rearranging to equate one side to zero
⇒ Dividing each term by 7 to simplify
⇒ Factorising gives
and
Hence, the first number is -5 and the second number is 3
160/4 = p/6
Cross-multiply the propportion:
160 x 6 = 4p
Divide each side by 4:
p = 40 x 6 = 240 pages
<span>4x+2(3x-9)=42
first we want to distribute the 2 using the distributive property
4x+6x-18=42
Then we simplify
</span><span>10x-18=42
we add 18 to both sides
10x=60
divide both side by 10
x=6</span>
