In the previous problem, Ken predicted a drop in temperature. Explain why a drop in temperature would lead to adding a negative integer.

downwards on number line

Step-by-step explanation:

A drop in tempurature means that the tempurature is going down on a number line, which means negatively. This would result in a negative integer added to the original number.

A drop in temperature means the temperature will decrease. That decrease is represented by a negative integer, which should be added to the previous temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

were is the equation

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
