The <em>additive inverse</em> of (-2) is 2.
Answer:
Five plus the difference of seventeen and eight
3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5
One solution was found :
x = -20
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
3*(x-1)-8-(4*(1+x)+5)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•(x-1))-8)-(4•(x+1)+5) = 0
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(3 • (x - 1) - 8) - (4x + 9) = 0
Step 3 :
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-x - 20 = -1 • (x + 20)
Equation at the end of step 4 :
-x - 20 = 0
Step 5 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
5.1 Solve : -x-20 = 0
Add 20 to both sides of the equation :
-x = 20
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = -20
One solution was found :
x = -20

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write two equations in the two unknowns using the given relations. Let g and b represent the costs of a round of golf and a turn in the batting cage, respectively.
5g +4b = 60 . . . . . Sylvester's expense
3g +6b = 45 . . . . . Lin's expense
Dividing the second equation by 3 gives ...
g +2b = 15 ⇒ 2b = 15 -g
Substituting into the first equation, we have ...
5g +2(2b) = 60
5g +2(15 -g) = 60 . . . . . substitute for 2b
3g = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30, collect terms
g = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 3
__
2b = 15 -10 = 5 . . . . use the value of g to find b
b = 2.5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Mini golf costs $10 per round; batting cages cost $2.50 per turn.

Step-by-step explanation:
The bag has a total of (4+2+3+5) = 14 balls. Set up the proportions:
Red: 
green: 
yellow: 
blue: 
Now solve!
Removing 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green, and 1 blue = 
Removing 1 blue, 1 green, 1 green, and 1 yellow = 
Removing 1 red, 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 yellow = 
Removing 1 green, 1 yellow, 1 yellow, and 1 red =
