-7 - 12 = -1(7 + 12) = -1(19) = -19
Your answer is A.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17
To express a decimal number (with a finite decimal expression) in a fraction, you work like this: the numerator is the number without decimale separator (you simply pretend it's not there), while the denominator will be
, where n is the number of digits after the decimal separator.
So, in your case, the number without decimal separator is 53, and you have two digits after the decimal separator, so the fraction will be
which is irreducible.
False.
y= 3(1)+1= 4
y= 3(2)+1=7 not 5
y= 3(3)+1=10 not 6
For example, if we use 5+3=8.
If you change it to 3+5, it still equals 8.
Therefore, 3+5=5+3 because at the end, they both have equal value aka both end up with 8 using the same numbers. (goes by the rule a+b=b+a)
