Answer: 4 - 5 = 4 + (-5) = -1
Step-by-step explanation: You have to make the 5 into a negative number using parenthesis and do the math.
Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick
Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M
The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48
Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:
H + M = 48
3M + M = 48
4M = 48
M = 12
Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.
Answer:
1 inch = 82 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You can divide each of the terms of this ratio by 14 to get the ratio for 1 inch:
14 in : 1148 mi
= (14 in)/14 : (1148 mi)/14
= 1 in : 82 mi
