2 (6) - 3 (-3) , 12 - -9 , 12 + 9 , 21
It is -11x + 24 because you multiply the numbers in the parentheses by 3 then collect like terms 10x +24 - 21x then you do 10x minus 24x and you get -11x+24
Answer:
less than
Step-by-step explanation:
6/9 is less than 9/12
6/9=.6666666666666666666666666
9/12=.75
.666666<.75
Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:
5x = 8y
x - y = 150
Let's solve the first equation for x:
x = 8y/5
Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:
(8y/5) - y = 150
Simplify:
3y/5 = 150
3y = 750
y = 250
If y = 250, then x is:
x = 8(250)/5 = 400
The answer is 250 and 400.
