The answer is C, Ik this bc I already finished learning this
Answer: Your Answer is: -8/17
-5 because it is closest to zero and -17 is farther than zero on a number line :) <span />
The trick is to write appropriate equations and then solve the system of equations you've created.
"sum of two numbers is -5:" x + y = -5
"difference is -1:" x-y = -1
Add these two equations together. This will cause y to drop out, and you will be left with an equation in x alone:
2x = - 6, so x = -3. Subst. -3 for x in either equation, above, and find the corresponding y value.
Then write your solution as (-3, y ) (write in your value for y).
Answer:
12 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
let no. of pencils bought be x.
54 - 0.75x - 2.50 = 42.50
