Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that, when two negative signs are directly next to each other, they mean addition. Note the rule:

A positive sign & A positive sign = Positive number.

A positive sign & A negative sign = Negative number.

A negative sign & A negative sign = Positive number.

In this case:

- (-15) = + 15

Simplify. Combine like terms:

15 + 15 = 30

30 is your answer.

Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.53?

Inga [223]

Answer:

53/100?

Step-by-step explanation:

I mean you can't really simplify it any more. There's no LCD, GCD. Can't divide it evenly.

To solve it I just looked at the number of places, (3 which mean 100.)

Then I looked at the numbers, (53.)

So you just turn that into a fraction...

sophie was 28 years old when daughter Nichole was born. In how many years will Sophie be two years less than still times Nichole

Kamila [148]

It will take 6 years for that to happen.

You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older.

Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation.

6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6

This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
