Subtraction of whole numbers is commutative. True or False

Mathematics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]2 years ago

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 do you solve what is 30% of $240
DerKrebs [107]
The Answer would be x=72. Why? Because \frac{x}{240} =  \frac{30}{100}.   Fraction  \frac{30}{100} is your %.  You Cross multiply 240 * 30 = 100x
240 time 30 = 7200. you want x to  be alone so you do 7200 divided by 100 equaling 72. So you get x=72.

Please help me with these two math problems that I do not quite understand. This is urgent!
g100num [7]

Answer:

1)a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d\Rightarrow a_{n}=-1-2(n-1)\\a_{2}=-1-2(2-1)\Rightarrow a_{2}=-3\\a_{3}=-1-2(3-1)\Rightarrow a_{3}=-5\\(...)\\a_{10}=-1-2(10-1)=-19

2) a_{10}=4+8(10-1)\Rightarrow a_{10}=76

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To write an Arithmetic Sequence, as an Explicit Term, is to write a general formula to find any term for this sequence following this pattern:

a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1)\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{matrix}a_{n}=n^{th}\: term\\a_1=1st \: term \\d=\: difference\\n=n^{th}\, term\end{matrix}\right.

<em>"Write an explicit formula for each explicit formula A(n)=-1+(n-1)(-2)"</em>

This isn't quite clear. So, assuming you meant

Write an explicit formula for each term of this sequence A(n)=-1+(n-1)(-2)

As this A(n)=-1+(n-1)(-2)  is already an Explicit Formula, since it is given the first term a_{1}=-1 the common difference d=-2 let's find some terms of this Sequence through this Explicit Formula:

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d\Rightarrow a_{n}=-1-2(n-1)\\a_{2}=-1-2(2-1)\Rightarrow a_{2}=-3\\a_{3}=-1-2(3-1)\Rightarrow a_{3}=-5\\(...)\\a_{10}=-1-2(10-1)=-19

2) (4,12,20,28, ..) In this Arithmetic Sequence the common difference is 8, the first term value is 4.

Then, just plug in the first term and the common difference into the explicit formula:

a_{10}=4+8(10-1)\Rightarrow a_{10}=76
