If Gary lost 17 pounds and gained 8 pound back, then we have
 -17 pounds + 8 pounds = -9 pounds.
 Therefore the additive inverse of the change in Gary's weight is 9 pounds.
 That is, Gary lost 9 pounds of weight.

VLD [36.1K]

We need to determine the term life insurance amount per thousand on a 22-year-old female for a 5-year policy given that the face value of the policy is $600,000 and the annual premium is $1332.

Since we are supposed to find the term life insurance amount per thousand, therefore, we will use the following formula:

\text{Term life insurance amount}=\frac{\text{Annual premium}}{\text{Face value of insurance}}*1000

Upon substituting the values of annual premium and face value of insurance, we get:

\text{Term life insurance amount}=\frac{\text{1332}}{\text{600000}}*1000\\
\text{Term life insurance amount}=\$2.22

Therefore, the required life insurance amount is $2.22.

What is the nearest ten thousand of 85,001
Kipish [7]
The answer is 90,000. Just remember 5 or above, give it a shove, and for or below let it go. Because 85 has a five at the end you push it up to 90. Same thing with 85,000 or 85,001. You shove it to 90. If it was 84,000 or 84,999 you would let it go to 80,000. Hope that helped!

when you solve a problem by working backward, what does your answer represent? how can you check your answer?
Rus_ich [418]
Lets say you have an addition problem

3 + 7 = ?

To figure that you can just add in your head since its easy.

3 + 7 = 10

You can work backwords to check to see if your awnser is right.

When you work backwards you do the opposite of what you are doing, so if your adding the opposite would be subtracting, and if your multiplying than the opposite would be dividing.

So you could work it out like this:

(Regular⬇️)
3 + 7 = 10
(Backwards⬇️)
10 - 7 = 3

And if you get the same numbers that were in the original awnser than you are correct! Hope this helps!!!!
