Hi!
When you add a negative number, you really just subtract it. So let's solve this.
Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

Solve
434 - 351 = 83

The sign of this fraction is positive
Hope this helps! :)

Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1
Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.
Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.
Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.
The surface area of a rectangular prism is always:
A=2(xy+xz+yz), where x, y, and z are the three dimensions of the prism.
A=2(50*90+50*3.5+90*3.5)
A=2(4500+175+315)
A=2(4990)
A=9980 mm^2
Oddly enough, when y=-1/3, the value of y is -1/3.
When x = -1/3, the value of y is
.. y = 3*(-1/3) -2
.. = -1 -2
.. = -3
When x = -1/3, the value of y is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:
–5(3 – q) + 4 = 5q – 11
-15 +5q + 4 = 5q -11
-11 + 5q = 5q - 11
+5q - 5q = -11 + 11
