Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. When adding a negative number to a positive, you subtract. 2.3 - 2.3 will equal 0.

B. When adding two negative numbers, you get an even smaller negative number. (-3.7) + (-4.1) = -7.8

C. When subtracting a negative number, the two negative signs become a positive. -12/4 is equal to 3. -2.6 + 3 is 0.4, which is positive.

D. 5/2 is the same as 2.5. If you subtract 2.5 from 2.5, you will get 0, which is not negative.

E. Two negative signs make a positive, so 72 + 100 is positive, not negative.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer: (A) The number is 14

(B) Lily is 16 years old

(C)The number is 35

(D) The wallet cost $20

Step-by-step explanation: (A) Let the number be a. Three times the number is equal to 3 times a, or 3a. Seven more than 3a equals 49, that means

7 + 3a = 49

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

3a = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

a = 14

The number is 14

(B) Let Hillary's age be h and Lily's age be l, so if Hillary's age is 3 years greater than Lily's age, then we have

h = 3 + l

Then if Hillary's age is now given as 19, the equation becomes

19 = 3 + l

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

16 = l

Lily's age is 16

(C) Let the number be x, and so twice the number becomes 2 times x which is 2x. Twice the number decreased by 20 is 50, becomes

2x - 20 = 50

Add 20 to both sides of the equation

2x = 70

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = 35

The number is 35

(D) Let each handbag be represented by b and each wallet be represented by w. The cost of each handbag is 10 more than the wallet, so if the wallet cost w, then the handbag would cost w + 10. This can be expressed as

h = w + 10

If she spent a total of 60 for the 2 handbags, then each handbag would cost 60 ÷ 2 which equals 30 per handbag. Substituting for the known value we now have,

30 = w + 10

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

20 = w

The cost of a wallet is $20

The table shows how much a store charges for certain numbers of pencils. Number of pencils (p) Cost (c) 4 $0.72 7 $1.26 12 $2.16

Arada [10]

Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...

(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18

(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18

Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...

c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
