You flip is when you mulitply the whole equation by a negative
not when you distribute a negative
if yo had
-3(x+4)>x
you wouldn't flip the negative symbol when distributing then -3
but if you had
-3(x+4)>-x
you would eventually have to multiply by -1 to make +1x
because they will be differente
exaple
12>3 is true
if yo multiply negative
-12>-3 is fale
-12<-3 is true
anothe rexample with placeholders
x<x+2
mulitply -1
-x>-x-2
false
-x<-x-2
true
that is why we flop the inequality symbole
Hope this helps can u mark me as branloest plz x
Answer:
you end up with 75 divided by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
75 divided by 3 - 8 + 8
add 60 and 15
3 - 2(4) + 2^3
multiply -2 by 4
3 - 8 + 2^3
multiply 2 by itself 3 times
3 - 8 + 8 (which gives you 3 again)
and you get 75 divided by 3
Let me help you with this :)
John = x
Mike = y
x = 4 + 3y (4 more than 3 times)
x + y = 20 (we put the x above into this equation)
4 + 3y + y = 20
4y = 16 (we transfers the 4 on the left side to the right side and subtract it from the 20)
y = 4 (the answer is 4)
we use this for the equation:
x = 4 +3*4
x = 16
John is 16 years old and Mike is 4 years old :)
