Which number line best shows how to solve −8 − (−2)? (5 points)

1 answer:

6 0

A number line from negative 10 to 10 is shown, with numbers labelled at intervals of 2. An arrow is shown from point 0 to negative 8. Another arrow points from negative 8 to negative 6. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a number line?</h3>

A number line is a straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals. Positive numbers are placed to the right of 0 and negative numbers are placed to the left of zero.

When a number (x) is added x unit is moved to the right while if a number (x) is subtracted x unit is moved to the left.

Now, solve -8 - (-2)

= -8 + 2=-6

So, a number line from negative 10 to 10 with numbers labelled at intervals of 2. An arrow is shown from point 0 to negative 8 then since 2 is added, we move 2 units right from negative 8 to negative 6.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + c = 92.....c = 92 - a

8a + 5c = 688

8a + 5(92 - a) = 688

8a + 460 - 5a = 688

3a = 688 - 460

3a = 228

a= 228/3

a = 76 <==== adults

a + c = 92

76 + c = 92

c = 92 - 76

c = 16 <=== children

Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate? (50points)

Naily [24]

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5})$

The associative property states that for any three terms that are being multiplied, different order of multiplication (i.e. which two terms are multiplied first) will give the same answer.

Let a,b and c be the three terms

then

$a.(b.c) = (a.b).c$
