Answer:

Learning to subtract rational numbers by adding the additive inverse can be explained to your child as being the same as finding the opposite. This can even be described to your child as being a similar concept to one that they have worked with in the past where subtraction is the opposite of addition.

Additive inverse can be defined as adding a number with the opposite or the negative of that number to equal zero. The additive inverse of 1 is (-1), the additive inverse of 2 is (-2) and so on.

Example: 5 + (-5) = 0

In this example, (-5) is the additive inverse.

You can then take additive inverse one step when finding the additive inverse when subtracting rational numbers.

Example: 7 - 4 = 7 + (-4)

3 = 3

When finding the inverse, it is important to keep in mind that what you do to one side, you must do the opposite to another. In the example above, because you subtracted a positive four on one side, you are going to add a negative four to the other. This will make the equation equal on both sides.

Suppose the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 inches are quadrupled. Find the perimeter of the new rectangle in i
oee [108]

The new perimeter of the rectangle if the dimensions are quadrupled would be 72 inches.

<h3>What are the side lengths of the first triangle?</h3>

The perimeter is always obtained by adding all the sides. This means the possible side lengths of the original rectangle are:

  • 5 inches + 5 inches + 4 inches + 4 inches

<h3>What are the side lengths of the new triangle?</h3>

5 inches x 4 = 20 inches

4 iches x 4 = 16 inches

<h3>What is the new perimeter?</h3>

20 + 20 + 16 +16= =72 inches

Write and solve a system of equations that represents each situation. Interpret the solution. 
ValentinkaMS [17]
X - $5 bills
y - $10 bills

x + y = 12
y = 5x

x + (5x) = 12
6x = 12
x = 2

y = 5(2)
y = 10

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

f(x) = -logx + 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -log x  approaches  the point (0, 1)  but this approaches (0, 5)

Looks like the graph of - log x + 4.
