Okay, take for example:
1+2=3 is the same as 1=3-2
See how we changed the place of the 2. We can do that as long we change + to - and vica versa.
Let's see your example:
6+y=-8
We move the 6 on the other side of the expression with the opposite sign (it is a rule) and we get:
y=-8-6
y=-14
The answer to your question is
86+y=99
y=99-86
y=13
Firstly change the time into sec.that is
1 min=60 sec
5 min=60 into 5
=300 sec
speed=distance/time
=62.5/300
=0.20833333333333.............
Lets say that J is for Jennys messages, B is for Boris’ and E is for Erics (or Ericas?).
79 = J + B + E
J = E - 6
B = 3E
Since both Jenny’s and Boris’ number of text messages has some kind of relation to Eric’s number of messages, we can say that:
79 = E - 6 (Jenny) + 3E (Boris) + E (Eric), so:
79 = E - 6 + 3E + E /combine like terms
79 = 5E - 6 /add 6 to both sides
79 + 6 = 5E /switch sides + combine like terms
5E = 85 /divide both sides by 5
E = 85/5
E = 17
So, Eric sent 17 messages. Lets get back to those equations we made for Jenny and Boris:
J = E - 6 = 17 - 6 = 11
B = 3E = 3 * 17 = 51
And we can check if it adds up: 51 + 11 + 17 = 79, which is what we were supposed to get.
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Point L is at (-2,3)
Point M is at (2,1)
We can find the slope using
m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1-3)/(2 - -2)
=(1-3)/(2+2)
=-2/4
=-1/2
