Fiona was thinking of a number. Fiona divides by 8, then adds 11 to get an answer of 7. What was the original number?

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the opposite of everything to fin the number:

7 - 11 = -4

-4 x 8 = -32

Check to see if it's true:

-32/8 = -4

-4 + 11 = 7

So the original number was -32, because when you divide it by 8 then add 11 it equals 7.

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
