Answer:
A. subtraction
B. division
C. multiplication
D. addition
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.
A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.
B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.
C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.
D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the <em>addition property</em> and <em>multiplication property</em>. Your grader may disagree.
Answer:
28 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.
Let us represent, the number of hours worked by
Adena = x
Julius = y
Tia = z
Julius worked two hours less than Tia.
y = z - 2
z = y + 2
Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.
x = 2y
Altogether they worked 58 hours.
x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1
We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1
2y + y + y + 2 = 58
4y + 2 = 58
Collect like terms
4y = 58 - 2
4y = 56
y = 56/4
y = 14
We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x
Note that:
x = 2y
y = 14, hence,
x = 2 × 14
x = 28 hours
Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours
Hey there! :)
Answer:
29/28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with:
Begin by finding a common denominator. A number that contains all of the denominators as a factor would be 28. Change each fraction to contain a denominator of 28:
Add the fractions:
Therefore, the fractions sum up to 29/28.
1 1/6, 1 2/3, 1 5/6 is the order. :) hope I helped!
