She should multiply y = x - 2 by -4...that way one x will be -4x and the other will be 4x and they will cancel out when added.
answer is -4
Is there any more to the question than this?
Yes, 4/8 and 1/2 are equivalent, because 4/8 reduced to simplest form is 1/2.
Answer: The answer would be 8.
Step-by-step explanation: I'm going to assume you mean 7 8/13 is a mixed fraction. So you multiply the denominator, 13, multiply 7 to that, then add 8 to it and the denominator would be the same as before. That should give you 99/13. When you divide, you get around 7.6, rounding closest to 8.
