The subtraction function
is defined as the subtraction of the two equations, representing each function:
So, we have
Answer:
(x - 25) / 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, we have one unknown variable which is the total of the bag of almonds, therefore we can represent this with the variable x. Since Lorenzo ate 25 of this bag we would need to subtract this from the total of the bag. Then we need to divide the remainder by 4 since each of his friends ate the rest in equal parts. This would leave us with the following expression ...
(x - 25) / 4
1. 1 1/3
2. 10 7/8
3. 4 7/15
4. 4/7
I hope this helps. :)
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
The calculation that Tom is trying to do would be to calculate how many times he walked the dog if he had walked the dog 4 times as many times as his sister, who in this scenario walked the dog a total of 9 times. Since, in this scenario there is no mention of how many times Tom walked the dog then this calculation cannot be made and I would say that Tom is not correct.
