Be open-minded, relax and just think: -"What number should I "add" (algebrically) to +4 so that their sum gives me a -12 ???". Of course it's not a zero and, obviously, the unknown number is not a positive one...! You must go down "deeper" than 12 stairs "underground" (where " -12 " stands) so that after having taken the "order" to go "upstairs" (this is what the sign " + " stands for...!) 4 steps, to be found at the "stair -12". Here it comes the answer: -16. Because "standing" on the "stair -16" you have to go "upstairs" doing exactly 4 steps "upwards" in order to be found on the "stair -12". Easy, isn't it???...
Or, in the symbolic way of your teacher:
m+4=-12 <=> m=-12-4 <=> m=-(12+4) <=> m=-16
m+4=-12
-12=m+4 -16=m
32 divided by 4 equals 8 plus 4 equals 12 multipled by 8 equals 96 answer
x = 4 and y = 0
In math problems without punctuation such as brackets, the standard convention in to solve from left to right. Therefore, you would solve the problem 15-3 times 4 plus nine like by three actions. 15-3 equals 12; 12 times 4 equals 48; 48 plus 9 equals 57.
b = 14
It equals postive 16 for more of these prombles go to uglymath.com thank you you ask it I solve it :p
in order to solve this problem you have to solve for x first wich you are given the data to pre forme so x=4 and x.2=8 and 8=y and y-4=4=a=x so a+8=12 and 12=b
4+3x-27=-12 To solve it... 3x= -12-4+27 3x= 11 x= 11/3 x= 3.666
-4x + 8 = -4 -4x + 8 - 8 = -4 -8 -4x = -12 -4x/-4 = -12/-4 x = 3
4m + 12 = 604m + 12 -12 = 60 -12 (1st subtract 12 from both sides)4m = 484m/4 = 48/4 (now divide both sides by 4 to solve for m)m = 12

a = 4
