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.

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.

A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.

B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!
Katena32 [7]
1. - Since a cube is all the same lengths on all sides you would want to find the area of one of the sides. You would do this by multiplying 3.8 by 3.8.
3.8*3.8=14.44
Since you have six faces on a cube you want to multiply this by 6.
14.44*6=86.64
So your answer for 1. is 86.64 in^2 of glass

3. Same thing as number one. Find the face of one side:
1 1/3*1 1/3 is about 1.7777
Multiply this by the six faces. 
1.7777*6 is about 10.66666
So your answer for 3. is about 10.666 (repeating) in^2

4. For this one, you want to follow the surface area formula for a cylinder. Which is - A=2πrh+2πr^2
When you put all your numbers in it would look like this: 
2*3.14*2*22+2*3.14*2^2
Once you do that equation you will get 301.44
So that should be your answer 301.44 cm^2

Hope this helps!
