Subtraction of whole numbers is commutative. True or False

Mathematics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
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.

How to calulate how high a tree that is 5m high and shadow is 4m?
Deffense [45]
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters

How do you do this? Please help
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

PO=86.2\\ OM=23.8\\

Step-by-step explanation:

To preface, your figure is going to be a line segment, with O as your midpoint, in between points P & M.

With that being said:

PO+OM=PM

Identify your values:

PO=7y+12\\OM=3y-8\\PM=110

Substitute the values into the first equation:

7y+12+3y-8=110

Combine like terms:

10y+4=110

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

10y=106

Divide by the coefficient of y, which is 10:

y=10.6

Substitute 10.6 for y in segments PO & OM:

PO=7(10.6)+12

OM=3(10.6)-8

PO=74.2+12

OM=31.8-8

Solve:

PO=86.2

OM=23.8

Check your answers by substituting:

PO+OM=PM

86.2+23.8=110
