Describe why you can change a subtraction problem into an addition problem

Elena-2011 [213]

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.

Kobotan [32]

Answer: I. only

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation :

II. False. a rectangle is a special type of rhombus since a rhombus has all sides equal, while a rectangle has all angles equal. A rhombus has opposite angles equal, while a rectangle has opposite sides equal. The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at equal angles, while the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length.

I. True. A square is a special case of a rhombus, because it has four equal-length sides and goes above and beyond that to also have four right angles. Every square you see will be a rhombus, but not every rhombus you meet will be a square.

III. False. Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides; parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid can never be a parallelogram. The correct answer is that all trapezoids are quadrilaterals.
