-8-t=-25
8-8-t=8-25
-t=-17
-(-t)=-(-17)
highlight%28t=17%29
check by substituting 17 in for t and see if the sides are =.
-8-17=-25
-25=-25 We're right!!!
:
8=b-3+19
8=b+16
8-16=b+16-16
-8=b
highlight%28b=-8%29
Check:
8=(-8)-3+19
8=-11+19
8=8 We're right again!!!
:
16=%288%2Bs%29%2F-7
-7%2816%29=-7%288%2Bs%29%2F-7
-112=8%2Bs
-112-8=-8%2B8%2Bs
-120=s
highlight%28s=-120%29
Check:
16=%288%2B%28-120%29%29%2F-7%29
16=-112%2F-7
16=16 Three for three!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
