An easy way is to pretend that 25 is positive. 14+25= 39. If we know that the mathematical equation of positive+negative= negative, then we switch the 39 to -39.
M=(755-800) /30-12
m= -45/18 or -2.5
y-800 = -2.5(x-12)
y-800 = -2.5x + 30
y = -2.5x + 830
y = -2.5(120) + 830
y = 530 lbs
9x - 6 = 48
9x = 54
x = 6
