Consider the example
(3x+5) - (x-10)
When we subtract off the (x-10), we are basically subtracting off x and also subtracting off -10. This is the same as adding on 10 because -(-10) = 10
So we would have these steps
(3x+5)-(x-10)
3x+5-x+10
2x+15
Often students forget to distribute the negative all the way through and would have 3x+5-x-10 as an incorrect step. You need to multiply that -1 through to each term, so that's why the distributive property is used.
Hmmm this is a little hard I believe c
We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:

Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:

Simplifying:

Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:

Therefore, there are 16 students in physics
i think its irrational
