Is something missing
???????????????????//
-5.8 - (-8.4)
When we multiply two negatives they become a positive. In this situation, where there is no other number, you can assume there's basically a 1 in that place.
-5.8 - 1(-8.4) would be just as correct. (If this helps visually clarify anything.)
So we take that -1 and multiply it by that -8.4. Multiplying 1 against anything leaves it the same, so we just need to change the sign. Two negatives make a positive.
-5.8 + 8.4
Now we add these together.
This gives us our final answer of 2.6

Answer:
after 75 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25 is 75. It can be found a couple of ways:
1. List the factors of each number and find the product of the unique ones:
15 = 3·5
25 = 5²
The LCM is 3·5² = 75.
__
2. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) and divide the product of the numbers by that value. From the above list of factors, we see that 5 is the GCD of 15 and 25. Then the LCM is ...
15·25/5 = 75
__
Or, you can simply list multiples of each number and see what the smallest number is that is in both lists:
15, 30, 45, 60, <em>75</em>, 90
25, 50, <em>75</em>, 100

The two buses will appear together again after 75 minutes.
Let number of miles be x
<span>when is </span>
<span>.5x + 25 = .25x + 30 </span>
<span>times 4 </span>
<span>2x + 100 = x + 120 </span>
<span>x = 20 </span>
