The easy way to think about this is what number comes between 5 and 7? The answer is 6 (but we have to consider that it's negative in this case.) So the answer is -6 Another way to look at it is with a number line (not to "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? scale.)<===(-7)==(-6)==(-5)==(-3)==(-2)==(-1)==(0)==(1)==>Notice how -6 comes between the two numbers. -6 is larger than -7 (it's "less negative" -- "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? closer to zero) -6 is less than -5 (it's "more negative" -- further away from zero)
Answer:
-13
Step-by-step explanation:
3z+2z and 5z 9.1+4.5a-2.5a and 11.1a and y-6(3) and y-18
Answer:
Wilson is 6 older than mary
w=6+m
wilson is 10 less than 5 times mary
w=-10+5m
w=5m-10
so now we set them eqal to each other since both equal w
m+6=w=5m-10
m+6=5m-10
minus m both sides
6=4m-10
add 10 to both sides
16=4m
divide both sides by 4
4=m
sub back
w=m+6
w=4+6
w=10
wilson=10
mary=4
the correct method is math
