-15 both sides and then it’s will be
5x = 13 then u divide both sides over 5 and the answer will be ( X=2.6 )
Okay, as you know, adding a positive and a positive gives you a bigger positive number. e.g 21 + 19 = 40.
Subtracting a positive from a positive might give you a negative number or a smaller positive number. e.g 21 - 19 = 2 or 20 - 24 = -4. That's simple, we all learned this! :)
Adding two negatives (e.g -4 + -5) will always give you a negative number. To make it easier, just think of the numbers only (4, 5), add them together, and then just put a negative sign by the answer (e.g 4 + 5 = 9 so put - to make -9).
Subtracting two negatives can be a bit tricky! When we say, for example, -5 - -4, we must turn the negative number that was to the right of the minus ( -4) into a positive number! So now it becomes -5 +4 ! And then you get your answer. (which is -1).
Adding a positive to a negative can give you a positive or a negative answer. It just depends which number is "bigger". E.g -20 + 31. << 31 is the "bigger" number, and it is a positive, so we know that our answer will be positive. E.g -20 + 9. << 20 is the "bigger" number (even though it's a negative but forget about that) and it is negative, so we know that our answer will be negative.
Adding a negative to a positive can give you a negative or a positive answer. Like I said, it depends on which number is "bigger". e.g 20 + -9 . We can just remove the + sign and it now becomes 20 -9, which is easier to understand. 20 is the bigger number, and it is positive, so we get a positive answer. e.g 20 + -30 becomes 20 -30 and -30 is the "bigger" number and it is negative, so we'll get a negative answer.
Subtracting a negative from a positive does the thing I mentioned earlier: e.g 20 - -9. The -9 is right of the minus sign and becomes positive: 20 +9! :)
Subtracting a positive from a negative, like I said, depends on which number is "bigger". e.g -30 - 9 (we know 9 is positive even though we don't show the + sign). Now, to make it simple, just block out the - sign by the 30 so it becomes 30 - 9. You know what that answer is: 21. But because -30 is "bigger", and it is a negative number, the answer will be negative so it's -21. E.g -30 - 42 << Block out the - sign by the 30, and 42 is the "bigger" number, so the answer will be a positive. Just look at the difference between "bigger" number and the smaller number (without signs) . That'll give your answer. 42 - 30 = 12. 42 was the "bigger" number and a positive, and we looked at the difference. :)
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
4+5=9
Answer:
Of the 600 elephants that he observes in random places in the reserve, he counts 
elephants with broken tusks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes number of elephants having broken tusks out of 600 elephants.
Of the 30 elephants that he observes in random places in the reserve, he counts 8 elephants with broken tusks.
So,
Of the 1 elephants that he observes in random places in the reserve, he counts 
elephants with broken tusks.
Therefore,
Of the 600 elephants that he observes in random places in the reserve, he counts elephants with broken tusks.
