Here is the equation:

When you're subtracting a negative number from a positive number, the sign will change. The - sign will become + and the negative number becomes positive.

Here is your new equation:

All you need to do is add 3 and 5.

That means your answer is 8.
<span>x + 2y = 2
-x + 3y = 13
As the x-terms of these equations are already opposites, you can begin to solve by elimination by adding the equations together.
</span> x + 2y = 2
-x + 3y = 13
+___________
0 + 5y = 15
y = 3
Now that you have y, substitute its value, 3, into either equation to find x.
x + 2y = 2
x + 2(3) = 2
x + 6 = 2
x = -4
Lastly, check all work by substituting both x- and y-values into both original equations.
x + 2y = 2
-4 + 2(3) = 2
-4 + 6 = 2
2 = 2
-x + 3y = 13
-(-4) + 3(3) = 13
4 + 3(3) = 13
4 + 9 = 13
13 = 13
Answer:
x = -4
y = 3
(-4, 3)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion.

He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.

We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.


Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.




Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.
Numerator of the equation is 3*nDenominator is 4*p - 5*n The equation is m = 3n/(4p-5n)
Numerator = 3*n
Denominator = 4*p - 5*n
Equation = [m = 3n/(4p-5n)]
