-5.8 - (-8.4)
When we multiply two negatives they become a positive. In this situation, where there is no other number, you can assume there's basically a 1 in that place.
-5.8 - 1(-8.4) would be just as correct. (If this helps visually clarify anything.)
So we take that -1 and multiply it by that -8.4. Multiplying 1 against anything leaves it the same, so we just need to change the sign. Two negatives make a positive.
-5.8 + 8.4
Now we add these together.
This gives us our final answer of 2.6
Can’t see the coordinate plan so I can’t answer it
A=cost er adult ticket
c=cost per child ticket
2a+14c=96
12a+8c=120
solve
simplify by dividing firs equation by 2 and 2nd by 4
a+7c=48
3a+2c=30
multiply first equaiton by -3 and add to second
-3a-21c=-144
<u>3a+2c=30 +</u>
0a-19c=-114
-19c=-114
divide both sides by -19
x=6
sub back
a+7c=48
6+7c=48
minus 6
7c=42
divide 7
c=6
adult ticket=$6
child ticekt=$6
<span>The answer is the coefficient of the x-tem of the trinomial</span>
