- Subtraction can be thought of as the inverse operation of addition, OR as addition itself, if you look at it as adding a negative number.

- The number line allows us to interpret subtraction (or addition of a negative) geometrically; we can view it as a movement to the left on the number line with a distance equal to the number being subtracted.

- Lastly, the value of any expression a - b (where a and b are real numbers) is determined by the relative sizes of the numbers. If a > b, then a - b > 0 (a positive result). If b > a, then a - b < 0 (a negative result.

IRISSAK [1]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}&#10;\\\\&#10;S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=4\\&#10;r=6&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;S_n=4\left( \cfrac{1-6^n}{1-6} \right)\implies S_n=4\left( \cfrac{1-6^n}{-5} \right)

Jeremy wants to buy a new computer, the sales woman says he can make down payments and then pay for the computer in installments
Llana [10]
X=t-yz   and we are asked to solve for y so, subtract t from both sides

x-t=-yz  divide both sides by -z

(x-t)/(-z)=y

y=(x-t)/(-z)  multiply the numerator and denominator by -1

y=(t-x)/z

Which of the following mixed numberd is represented by the letter A in number line shown?​
pentagon [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is divided into 9 parts between 1 and 2

A is situated 6 parts of the way between 1 and 2, that is

\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} ← cancelling by 3

Hence

A = 1 + \frac{2}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} → A
