Answer:
Yes, the expressions are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that -2 is defined as in additive inverse of 2, that is, 2 + -2 = 0.
and substracting 2 from 2 is also equal to zero, that is, 2 - 2 = 0.
Thus 2-2 = 2+ -2, implying -2 = + -2. Consequently, -5 + -2 = -5 -2
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Let's say that the whole book have 5a pages.
First day: a + 12
Second day: (4a)1/4+15= a + 15
Third day: (1/3)[ 4a - (a+15)] +18= a + 13
Forth day: 70
So we get this:
(a + 12) + (a + 15) + (a + 13) + 70 = 5a
a + 12 + a + 15 + a + 13 + 70 = 5a
3a + 110 = 5a
3a - 5a = -110
-2a = -110
a = 55
5a = 5(55) = 275
So the total pages are in the book is:
275 pages
-2x + 3y = 12
x intercept y = 0
-2x = 12
x = -6
y intercept x = 0
3y = 12
y = 4
answer
y intercept (0,4)
x intercept (-6,0)
