X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.
Answer:
5 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to rewrite the given statement in addition form.
The integers have property of:
Negative(-) Negative(-) = Positive(+)
Positive(+) Positive(+) = Positive(+)
Positive(+) Negative(-) = Negative(-)
Negative(-) Positive(+) = Negative(-)
The given statement is:
5-(-2)
Since we have two negative together, it is converted into a positive.
Thus, the given statement can be written in positive form as
5 + 2
