Answer:
there are 763 more apple trees than pear trees
Step-by-step explanation:
so, first we write the words into equations.
8P = A because there are 8x apples per x pear, so to make it equal we must multiply pears by 8. P+A = 981. replacing "A" in the second equation with "8P" to get P+8P=981=9P divide both sides by 9 to get 109 pear trees. knowing this we can get 981-109=A=872 apple trees. the problem asks for A-P which we can replace the numbers to get (872)-(109)=763 more trees
The argument is valid by the law of detachment.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/4y - 1/5y = 380 can be simplified to -19/20y = 380.
In order for the student to incorrectly get 361, they likely just multiplied the 380 by 19/20 rather than multiplying by the reciprocal (which would be -20/19).
This means the best answer should be B.
