Colin was thinking of a number. Colin adds 10, then divides by 6 to get an answer of -8. What was the original number?

- 58

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us think of this number as x.

The first direction is to add 10 to it which is now x+10

After, we divide this by 6 getting -8.

This would look like (x + 10)/y = -8

Now, we solve

We go backwards so first step Is to multiply -8 by 6. This would get us -48. Then we subtract 10 since we added ten in the first place giving us -58.

The final answer is -58

The original number was -58

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Do -8*6 to find out what the numerator was.

Step 2: After finding that the numerator was -48 you would subtract 10 getting -58

Step 3: Check your work : -58+10 = -48

                                            -48/6 = -8

a) justify

step-by-step explanation:

justifying is just part of everyday life. justify kind of means proof so i think the answer is a) justify.

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
