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.

Answer:

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

For the second one the nth term is ⅓n + ⅓ so the 11th term is ⅓x11 +⅓ = 3.9999 = 4
