a. n-(n - 1) = 1
b. n( n - 1) = n² - n
c. (n - 1) + n = 2n - 1
d. (n - 1) + n = 2n - 1
<h3>Solution:</h3>
General Rule for Equation Solving
- Remove parentheses and combine like terms to simplify each side of the equation.
- To isolate the variable term on one side of the equation, use addition or subtraction.
- To find the variable, use multiplication or division.
Given two consecutive numbers , (n - 1) , n
simplifying :
n - (n - 1)
= n -1(n - 1)
= n - n + 1
= 1
multiplying :
n( n -1)
= n² - n
simplifying :
(n-1) + n
= n - 1 + n
= 2n -1
by adding two numbers :
(n - 1) + n
= n -1 + n
= 2n - 1

Answer:
2*(-3)= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
I do not see how "a*b=2a-3b" would change the fact 2 times negative 3 is -6
<h2>
The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras theorem we know that
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²
h² = b² + p²
We have for ladder
h = 5 m
b = 3 m
5² = 3² + p²
p = 4 m

Differentiating h² = b² + p² with respect to time

The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.
The correct question is
<span>If you are paid $5.50/hour for mowing yards, and you take 3 1/3 hours to mow a yard, how much money are you owed
see the attached figurewe know that
3 1/3 hours-----> (3*3+1)/3----> 10/3 hours
Multiply </span>$5.50/hour by (10/3) hour
so
5.5*10/3----> $18.33
the answer is$18.33
