The first step to solving this equation would be to switch the sides of the equations. Doing this will make the equation much more easier to read and solve.
<em>Original Equation :</em> 5.4 = a - ( -1.8 )
<em>New Equation {Changed by Switching Sides} :</em> a - ( -1.8 ) = 5.4
Next we'll have to simplify the equation. This will get rid of the any negatives in the equation.
<em>Old Equation :</em> a - ( 1.8 ) = 5.4
<em>New Equation {Changed by Applying Rule} :</em> a + 1.8 = 5.4
Now we'll add subtract 1.8 from both sides of the equation to get 1.8 on its own.
<span><em>So, this means that in the equation 5.4 = a - ( -1.8 ),</em></span> a = 3.6.
QUESTION #2
The first step to solving this equation would be to simplify it. This will get rid of the two negatives in the equation.
<em>Original Equation :</em> g + ( -5 ) = 27
<em>New Equation {Changed by Simplification} :</em> g - 5 = 27
Now we'll add five to both sides of the equation to get g on its own.
<em>Old Equation :</em> g - 5 = 27
<em>New Equation {Added Add 5 to Both Sides} :</em> g - 5 + 5 = 27 + 5
<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em> g = 32
<em>So, this means that in the equation g + ( -5 ) = 27</em>, g = 32.
QUESTION #3
The first and basically the only step to solving this equation would be to subtract 47 from both sides of the equation. This would give us x on its own.
<em>Original Equation :</em> x + 47 = -23
<em>New Equation {Added Subtract 47 to Both Sides} :</em> x + 47 - 47 = -23 - 47
<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em> x = -70
<em>So, this means that in the equation x + 47 = -23</em>, x = -70.
In short, the set formed by the negative integers, the number zero and the positive integers (or natural numbers) is called the set of integers. Integer is also known as a whole number.
