Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In the original expression = 37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
So, we have to solve all the equations but 1 of them has to equal to -17.5
A) -54.9 + (-37.4) = -92.3
Remove parentheses
= -54.9 - 37.4
Subtract the numbers
-92.3
B) 54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5
Since 54.9 is greater than 37.4 just subtract normally
4 14
5 4. 9 < ------- Line up the decimal points like this
- 3 7. 4 <--------- Subtract the decimals
-----------------
1 7 . 5 <---------- This is the final answer to B.
C) 37.4 - (- 54.9) = 92.3
Change the sign to addition
=37.4 + 54.9
Add the numbers normally
54.9
+ 37. 4
--------------
92.3
D) 37.4 + (-54.9) = -17.5
Change the sign to subtraction
= 37.4 - 54.9
Subtract them normally (but as you can see you are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number so heres a trick that you can use switch the equation by putting the larger number in first like this....)
54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5 (REMEMBER the answer is not 17.5 because the original equation of D is reversed 37.4 - 54.9 so in this case your answer should be
- 17.5)
37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
Your final answer is D because it matches 37.4 - 54.9.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The two numbers are 64 and 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
You meant "quotient" of two numbers, right?
Represent the numbers by x and y.
Then the quotient is x/y = 8, and beyond that we know that x + y = 72.
Solve this for x and y.
If x/y = 8, then x = 8y. Substituting this into x + y = 72, we get:
(8y) + y = 72, or 9y = 72. Dividing both sides by 9 yields y = 8.
Since x/y = 8, letting y = 8 results in x = 64.
The two numbers are 64 and 8.
