-6m+19
1/2(-12m+38)
All we have to do is simply distribute the 1/2.
1/2(-12m) + 1/2(38)
(-6m) + 19

Answer:
Part A:
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
The number of minutes Eric spends playing volleyball each day is 35 minutes
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent exactly 35 minutes playing basketball
Step-by-step explanation:
The total time Eric plays basketball and volleyball = 95 minutes
The time duration Eric plays basket ball = x
The time duration Eric plays volleyball = y
Part A:
The pair of relationships between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) are;
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
By substituting the value of x in equation (2) into equation (1), we have;
x + y = (y + 25) + y = 95
2·y + 25 = 95
2·y = 95 - 25 = 70
y = 70/2 = 35 minutes
Therefore, Eric spends 35 minutes playing volleyball every day
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent only 35 minutes playing basketball because, given that he plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volley, the number of minutes he spends playing volleyball will then be given as follows;
x = y + 25
35 = y + 25
y = 35 - 25 = 10 minutes
The total time = x + y = 10 + 35 = 45 minutes ≠ 95 minutes.
Answer: 45 is 75 percent of 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming we're dealing with 
, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
Liz attempted to factor 36. Since 36 = 3*12 and not 3+12, this is not the way to go. In stead of factoring 36, she should have split it into a friendly sum, like 36=30+6.
Then Step 1 should have been 27(6+30).
