The answer to your question would be: Because 4 + (-7) is an equivalent expression, your answer is -3. The reason for this can be described using integers. So lets say you have $4. You owe your brother $7. Since you don't have enough to pay him, you can pay him all your money, but you still have to pay him $3 more. This means technically your balance is $-3, cause if he needs the money, the second you get it he will ask for it. Sorry if this isn't too great of an example, not sure what else I could think of. Pretty much remember when subtracting a number, you can add the negative of the number, because that is the same thing. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D
Hey there!
If the price of a CD on sale is 0.65c, then 0.35 was taken off of the original price. You can find this if you subtract 0.65 from 1, or 65% from 100%.
Your answer would not be your second option or your fourth option, since the price you're paying is 0.65 of the original price and you are getting 0.35 of the price off. Also, your third option wouldn't be correct either, since 0.35 isn't being added on top of the total price.
Your answer is your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
This is an excellent practice for the solution of quadratic equations.
1*36=36 => (1,36)
2*18=36 => (2,18)
3*12=36 => (3,12)
4*9=36 => (4,9)
6*6=36 => (6,6)
9*4=36 => (9,4)
12*3=36 => (12,3)
18*2=36 => (18,2)
36*1=36 => (36,1)
We can see that the sum decreases until the two factors are close (or equal) and then increases again.
The pair of integers with a sum of 20 is therefore (2,18) or (18,2).
T = -4.5
Answer is One solution.
The cost of each pen is $50, because you spend $600 on books leaving $200 to buy FOUR pens, making it $50 per pen
