The correct answer is -48
36 + x = -12
X = -12 - 36
x = -48
36 + (-48) = -12
36 - 48 = -12
Answer:
Train A = 299 tons Train B = 50 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
Train A = x
Train B = y
x+y = 349
x= y +249
Plug in one equation into another
y+249+y= 349
Simplify
2y+249=349
Subtract 249 from both sides
2y=100
Divide both sides by 2
y=50
Plug it into the x equation to solve for x
x+50=349
-50 from both sides
x=299
1615/170
We first need to convert this into a proper fraction. Which means that the denominator must be larger than the numerator for it to be proper. Also, since 1615 is BIGGER than 170, we will end up with a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction always has a whole number.
1615 can go into 170 how many times?
9 times
170*9 = 1530
Now subtract.
1615 - 1530 = 85
Now we have our mixed fraction: 9 85/170
Now we must simplify the fraction.
85/5 = 17
170/5 = 34
17/34 is the smallest possible fraction we can get.
9 17/34
