Answer:

Both, the methods will give the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

178 - 135 = 43

If Carmine adds 5 to each number, then,

(178 + 5) - ( 135 + 5) = 183 - 140 = 43

If Karen adds 2 to each number than the subtraction problem will look like:

(178 + 2) - ( 135 + 2) = 180 - 137 = 43

Adding 5 to each number or adding 2 to each number won't change the answer.

One must make sure that equal amount of quantity should be added to both the components. Sometimes this technique helps us to simplify the problem and it could be solved easily.

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the same value, x, is being added to both numbers they are subtracting the answer won't be changed.

178-135=43

183-140=43

180-137=43

A gift box is 8 inches long, 3inches wide, and 4inches tall. What is the approximate length of its longest diagonal?A? 9.4inches
Doss [256]

Given parameters:

Length of the gift box = 8 inches

Width of the box = 3 inches

Height of the box = 4 inches

Unknown :

Length of its longest diagonal = ?

Solution:

This is a rectangular box.

To find the diagonal of such box, let us use the formula below;

             Diagonal  = \sqrt{l^{2} + w^{2} + h^{2}   }

l is the length

w is the width

h is the height

Input the parameters and solve;

           Diagonal  = \sqrt{8^{2} + 3^{2} + 4^{2}   }   = 9.4inches

The diagonal of the box is 9.4inches
