-(-(-)(-)(-10x)) = -5

We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.

To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.

Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."

So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :

-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5

Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.

So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.

This results in 1 × (-10x) = -5

Simplify.

-10x = -5

Now, you simply divide both sides by -10.

-10x ÷ -10 = -5 ÷ -10

Simplify.

x = 1/2

Answer:

x = 3y + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the relationship between x and y before finding the y-intercept.

0-(-1) = 1

1-0 = 1

2-1 = 1

1-(-2) = 3

4-1 = 3

7-4 = 3

As x increases by 1, y increases by 3.

At x = 0, y is already 1. Thus:

x = 3y + 1

Otrada [13]

If the rate at which they are giving the DVDs is the same then it is 4/65 or 16.25% or 0.1625.

Now just multiply 455 by the rate (4/65 or 16.25% or 0.1625) to find how many DVDs were given.

455 × (4/65) = 28

28 DVDs were given away

hope it helps :)
