Subtraction of whole numbers is commutative. True or False

1 answer:

3 0

It is False.

If a property is commutative in subtraction it means: x - y is the same as y - x.

For example 5 - 3 = 2, but 3 - 5 = -2 so subtraction is not commutative.

But 5 + 3 = 8 , is the same as 3 + 5 = 8.

Addition is Commutative, but Subtraction is not commutative.

So the statement that subtraction of whole numbers is commutative is False.

Answer: Option C)1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 20

Explanation:

Since, Micah can fill a box with books in 15 minutes.

Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute= 1/15

Also, Sydney takes the books out puts them on a shelf.

And the times taken by Micah when Sydney is also taking the books outside from the self= 20 minutes

Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute when Sydney taking books out of the box= 1/20

Let Sydney alone takes x minutes to take books outsides the shelf.

Then, work done by Sydney in one minute=1/x

Thus, the work done by Sydney( by taking books out of the box)= the work done by Micah - work done by Micah and Sydney simultaneously= 1/15-1/20

⇒1/x=1/15-1/20

⇒1/15-1/20=1/x

⇒1/15-1/x=1/20 is the required expression.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

An advertiser goes to a printer and is charged $73 for 100 copies of one flyer and $82 for 400 copies of a similar flyer. Assumi

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

y = 0.03x + 70

Slope here represents the variation in the charges with the change in the number of flyers

Positive slope means that the cost is increasing with increase in number of flyers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

for 100 copies advertiser is charged = $73

For 400 copies advertiser is charged = $82

Now,

here the charge is a function of number of flyers

we have the general line equation for a linear relationship as:

y = mx + c

here m is the slope

c is the constant

for the first case we have

y = $73

x = 100

thus,

73 = 100m + c ...........(1)

for the second case, we have

y = $82

x = 400

thus,

82 = 400m + c ...........(2)

subtracting (1) from (2)

82 = 400m + c

- ( 73 = 100m + c )

==================

9 = 300m + 0

m = 0.03

substituting the value of slope in equation (1)

73 = 100 × 0.03 + c

73 = 3 + c

c = 70

Hence,

the equation is y = 0.03x + 70

here y is amount charged and x are the number of flyers.

Slope here represents the variation in the charges with the change in the number of flyers

Positive slope means that the cost is increasing with increase in number of flyers

Please somebody help me with this please help ASAP

TiliK225 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what your teacher wants to hear here.

can you use and construct certain angles (particularly 90 degrees), can you use compasses ?

for me the best way would be to draw one side as given. then use compasses and draw a half-circle from each end point of the line above the line. both circles have the radius = the given diameter.

then draw the next 2 sides of the square up from the end points of the first line towards the half-circle that was drawn from the other point, so that the end point is exactly on the circle bow. and then connect the engaging endpoints of these 2 sides.

similar for the rectangle.

the only difference is that now for the two sides (which we don't know the length) we need to go up exactly 90 degrees until the lines hit the half-circles.
