Answer: -3/2x + 3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Answer:
answer is 3
there are two ways to solve it. I hope you understand.
The sum of the numbers are 12. So you can just guess and check: 1, 12; 2, 10; 3, 9; **4, 8**; You come to a conclusion of 8 and 4 matching the criteria for the problem, so your answer is 8.
It is less than the whole number.
Why? because 1*WholeNumber = WholeNumber. So if you multiply it by anything smaller than 1, than the result has to be smaller than the result you get by multiplying by one.
