First expression: (-7)/(-4)
Divide. Note that two negative numbers divided will result in a positive answer
(-7)/(-4) = 7/4 = 1.75
First expression: Greater than 1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second expression: -(3/2)
Simplify: 3/2 = 1.5
-(1.5) = -1.5
Second expression: Less than -1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third expression: (-8/5) x (-5/8)
Note that two negatives = one positive answer when multiplying
8/5 x 5/8 = 40/40 = 1
Third expression: Neither
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth Expression: (-5)/(-3)
Divide: (-5)/(-3) = 5/3 = ~1.67
Fourth Expression: Greater than 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth Expression: (-9)/6
Divide: (-9)/6 = -1.5
Fifth expression: Less than -1

Time = distance/speed
Since you want to find the time Holly spent riding, you need to divide her distance (24 miles) by her speed (6 miles/hour) to get the number of hours (4) that she rode. Her starting time added to the time spend riding will give her ending time. One must subtract the riding time from the ending time to find the starting time.
Selection A is appropriate.
Answer: 280
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Quantity X Cost = Money Received
Adult: x 3 3x
Children: 500-x 2 2(500 - x) = 1000 - 2x
Adult = Children + 400
3x = 1000 - 2x + 400
3x = 1400 - 2x
5x = 1400
x = 280
Answer:
a=6
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...
3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)
3a+9-6=21
3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)
3a=21-3
3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)
a=18/3
a=6
to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a
3(a+3)-6=21
3(6+3)-6=21
3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)
29-6=21
21=21
