Im hoping you just want an example so here you go
whole number: 16
fraction version of 16: 16/1
to subtract fractions you have to have a common denominator.
so if i had a problem like 6 -1/3
step 1 would be to turn 6 into a fraction: 6/1
step 2 is to find the common denominator:
6/1 -1/3, in this case it is 3, so you multuply the first term by 3
you would then get 18/3 - 1/3, now all you do if subract numerators, 18-3=15
final answer would be 15/3, you can simplify it into 5/1 which is also 5
That’s what I think the answer is, I need to know the answer key
Two integers whose sum is -7 and whose product is 12 .. would be
- 3 and -4 because when you add both of them you end up with the sum of -7 and when they both are multiplied together they give the product 12 as the answer
What you have to find is what numbers add to -6 and multiply to 9. these numbers would be -3 and -3 (-3+-3=-6, -3*-3=9). substitute these in for -6x as x^2-3x-3x+9=0. then factor out c and three to get x(x-3)-3(x-3)=0. x-3=0 in both cases, so x is three.
Okay, rounding is when you take a number such as 198 and imagine that it is something easier to do math with, like 200.
200 is easier to add with because there are zeroes in the tens place and the ones place.
725 is easier to add with than 727 because the ones place digit, (5), is an easier base to use, just like zero.
Using the easier numbers, 200 + 725 = 925
Using the original numbers, 198 + 727 + 925
*Because you took two pieces from the 727 and added them to 198, the four numbers in this problem are compatible.
Compatible numbers are when you use numbers that are close to the original ones and make it easier to do the problem in your head.

In the case of 87+ 34, the simplest numbers to use would be 90 instead of 87 and 35 instead of 34. Not as easy as the first equation, but still doable.
90+35+125
or
87+34=121
____
In the case of 222+203, the simplest substitutions are 220 and 200.
220+200=420
or
222+203=425
Hope this helps,
