Describe a way to check the correctness of a subtraction answer.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]1 year ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Well in general, we can represent subtraction as: x-y=z

"z" represents the difference, and it really just represents x with y taken away. So if we were to "give back" this y value, we should get "x".

This means that: z+y=x

So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.

given the midpoint of segment KL is M (1, -1) and L (8 ,-7) what are the coordinates of the other endpoint K
andrey2020 [161]

The answer is (-6, 5) for K.

In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Kx + Lx)/2 = Mx

(Kx + 8)/2 = 1

Kx + 8 = 2

Kx = -6

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Ky + Ly)/2 = My

(Ky + -7)/2 = -1

Ky + -7 = -2

Ky = 5

This gives us the final point of (-6, 5)

A. 70°

Supplementary angles always = 180°

Where 180 - 110 = 70

110+ 70 = 180
