It isn't different, it is very much the same
1-1 = 0
.1-.1 = 0
5.25 - 3.75 = 1.50
1.0005 +1.005 = 2.0055
just make sure to line the decimal places on top of each other <span />

There really isn't any difference about it other than the fact that there is a decimal point next to the number.

You could literally add the a decimal point to a whole number to make it a decimal

2=2.0

Subtract the equations 3X plus 4Y equals 17 minus ( 3X plus 2Y equals three )
11111nata11111 [884]

The problem we are asked to simplify is:

(3x + 4y = 17) - (3x + 2y = 3)

To subtract the equations, we do what we would normally do, combine like terms. This gives us our answer equation of:

(3x - 3x) + (4y - 2y) = (17 - 3)

This gives us our answer of:

2y = 14

But, if we would want to solve it (the question doesn't ask us for this), we find that y = 7 and substitute the value of y in one of the equations to find x.
