Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number = x

So x ÷ -3 = x + 12

Mulitply both sides by -3: x = -3x -36

Add 3x to both sides: 4x = -36

Divide both sides by 4: x = -9

Sliva [168]

Answer: $\frac{11}{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so I'm going to try to show it the best c an

m = slope

the equation you use is

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =$ m

so when using that formula with the cords, you get

$\frac{4-(-7)}{-6-(-4)}$

and then subtract everything and you'll get

$\frac{11}{-2}$

Two cans of soup cost $0.88. One can costs $0.20 more than the other can. How much would 5 cans of each type of soup cost all to

DochEvi [55]

We can determine that there are two types of soup: one can costing $0.54, and the other costing $0.34. 5 cans of the $0.54 soup would cost a total of $2.70, while 5 cans of the $0.34 soup would cost $1.70. Therefore, the combined cost of all 10 cans of soup, being 5 of each type, is $4.40.
