Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = -1
b = 2
c = 3
a + (-c) = -1 + (-3) = -4
Both numbers have same sign(-Ve).So add and the result will have the -Ve sign.
c - (-b) = c + b = 3 + 2 = 5
b = 2
Least to greatest: a +(-c) , b , c-(-b)
Answer:
x= first number y= second
x=2y+9 and x+y=129, these are the equations...solving gives x=89,y=40
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.
To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5
Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.
So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.
