Answer:
(-15)/3 = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-15)/3
Assume that your positive tiles are yellow, and your negative tiles are red.
The question is asking, "if you take 15 red tiles and split them into three equal groups, how many will you have in each group?"
How can you model the first value of -15? With 15 red tiles.
Let’s model how to divide the tiles into three equal groups by moving one tile at a time into three separate groups until all 15 tiles have been moved.
Step 1.
Start with 15 red tiles, as in the first picture.
Step 2.
Start by moving tiles one at a time to begin creating three new groups.
The middle picture shows the situation after you have moved the first three tiles.
Step 3.
Continue moving tiles one at a time from the original group and stacking them evenly in the three new groups until you have no more tiles to move.
The third picture shows the situation when you have finished.
How many red tiles are in each group? There are five.
Is the answer positive or negative? The answer is negative, because there are five red negative tiles in each group.
Conclusion? (-15)/3 = -5
it is 4 because i used plato and used the answer key
May be there is an operator missing in the first function, h(x). I will solve this in two ways, 1) as if the h(x) = 5x and 2) as if h(x) = 5 + x
1) If h(x) = 5x and k(x) = 1/x
Then (k o h) (x) = k ( h(x) ) = k(5x) = 1/(5x)
2) If h(x) = 5 + x and k (x) = 1/x
Then (k o h)(x) =k ( h(x) ) = k (5+x) = 1 / [5 + x]
Answer:
A bag of pop corn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
be the price of popcorn, and 
the price of Pretzels. If the girl bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 Pretzels and it cost her $37.25, we have the equation
<em>(this says that the cost of 2 popcorn bags plus 5 pretzels equals $37.25)</em> .
And, since Zoe bought 8 popcorn bags and 9 Pretzels with a total price of $102.25, we get the equation
<em> (this says that the cost of 8 popcorn bags plus 9 Pretzels equals $102.25).</em>
Thus, we have two equations
1.
2.
and we solve them by first multiplying equation (1) by 4:
,
and then subtracting it from equation (2):
Now we put this value of into equation (1) and get:
and we solve for to get:
Therefore, a bag of popcorn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.
