-84 > -6(2 - 3b)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
-84 > -12 + 18b
<em><u>Add 12 to both sides.</u></em>
-72 > 18b
<em><u>Divide both sides by 18.</u></em>
-4 > b
The value of b is less than -4
40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Answer:
4a
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 / -2 = 4
a^8/a^7 = a^(8 - 7) = a
Answer: 4a
-3+8.
We know that the temperature /was/ -3, so it was 3 under zero. It has /risen/ by 8, meaning we have added 8 degrees to whatever the starting temperature was.
We can find out how much the temperature is right now: it was -3, went through -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and now its at 5 degrees. Thats risen by 8 degrees, right? And -3+8 is the same as 8-3 (commutative property of addition, since we basically did 8+(-3)) which equals 5, so we know that we got the correct answer. :)
