A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.

A polygon is regular if each of its sides has the same length. Find the perimeter of the regular polygon.
OleMash [197]

Answer: 6units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a regular polygon, and it has 3 equal sides it means the polygon is a quadrilateral.

From the diagram,

5 - 2x = -4x + 9 ( side of quadrilateral )

Solving for x in the equation

-2x + 4x = 9 - 5 ( collection of like terms in simple linear equation )

2x = 4

Divide through by the coefficient of x which is 2

x = 2.

Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon which equals to the total length of the polygon is

Perimeter = 2 + 2 + 2

= 6units

Rachel saved money to buy art supplies. She used 1/3 of her savings to buy brushes. She used 3/5 of her savings to buy paint. Wh
Artist 52 [7]
This is a problem on addition of dissimilar fractions.
1/3 + 3/5 = ?
To add dissimilar fractions, we have to convert it first to similar fractions. To convert to similar fractions, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, LCM is 15. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
1/3 = 5/15; 3/5 = 9/15
Now proceed with the addition -
5/15 + 9/15 = 14/15
Then subtract the sum from the savings -
1 - 14/15 = 1/15
Therefore, Rachel still has 1/15 of her savings
