90*4-14/2+102/5*2
360-7+40,8
393,8
Righ, so negative times positive=negative
negative+positive=positive
thereofr
positive>negative
factor -84 where the negative is smaller ex -12 and 13, not -14 and 10 so
-2 and 42 nope
fast forward
-6 and 14 yes
-6+14=8
so the numbers are -6 and 14
First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:
Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x
If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:
120+10x = 150 + 4x [starting equation]
-120 -4x -120 -4x [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]
<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u> [divide both sides by 5]
5 5
x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.
