5-7 = -2

" Negative Two "

Sometimes it helps to think of subtraction in terms of "movement". Subtracting some positive amount is the same thing as moving <em>left </em>on the number line. If we start on the number 5 and move 7 to the left, you can see that we pass zero and end up 2 in the negative, so 5 - 7 = -2.

Another way to think about this is to look at subtracting 7 as subtracting 5 and <em>then </em>subtracting another two from 5 -- 5 - 5 - 2, in other words. 5 - 5 = 0, and 0 - 2 = -2, so we end up at the same place.

Three students, Matthew, Thompson and Amos shared #15000 in the ratio of 5:2:x respectively. If Matthew's share is 7500, calcula
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.

Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:

\frac{5}{5 + 2 + x} = \frac{5}{7 + x}

Both fractions are equal, so:

\frac{5}{7 + x} = \frac{1}{2}

Applying cross multiplication:

7 + x = 10

x = 10 - 7

x = 3

The value of x is 3.
