How is subtracting-4x from 9x similar to subtracting -4 from 9?

Question:

How is subtracting -4x from 9x similar to subtraction -4 from 9?

Answer:

If both of them have the same variable lets say this:

2a + 2a = 4a
Just add 2 + 2 and then keep the a later at the end since they both have the same letter.

So in this case, it will be the same as subtracting -4 from 9 because they both have the same variables so the x would stay the same:

-4x + 9x = 5x
would be the answer.

Hope this helped!

Find the values of the pronumerals in this diagram. Write down the reason in each case.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a and 85 form a straight angle and are supplementary, thus

a + 85 = 180 ( subtract 85 from both sides )

a = 95

b and 85 are vertical angles and are congruent, thus

b = 85

c and 85 are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

c = 85

c and d are vertical angles and congruent, thus

d = 85

In conclusion

a = 95, b = 85, c = 85, d = 85

y = 4

Explanation: $\begin{gathered} 3\text{ : y = 18 : 24} \\ 3\colon y\text{ = }\frac{3}{y} \\ 18\colon24\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{y}\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \\ \text{cross mult}iply\colon \\ 3(24)\text{ = y(18)} \\ \text{divide both sides by 18:} \\ \frac{3(24)}{18}\text{ = }\frac{18y}{18} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{24}{6} \\ y\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}$
