Two negatives make a positive

Answer: +11

Step-by-step explanation: When you're adding and subtracting positives and negatives and you see a minus a negative in a problem, you can change it to plus a positive.

So 6 - (-5) can be thought of as 6 + (+5).

So you don't even need your number line for this problem. Just add 6 + 5 to give you a sum of +11. This means that 6 - (-5) or 6 + (+5) is +11.

Paige bought 8 bags of sand, she had a total of 30Ib of sand, and each bag cost $1.80/bag: A: What is the weight of sand per bag
timurjin [86]

The weight of sand per bag and price of sand per Ib is 3.75 lb per bag and $1.80 respectively.

<h3>Unit price</h3>

  • Number of bags of sand = 8
  • Total weight of bags of sand = 30 lb
  • Cost of each bag of sand = $1.80

Weight of sand per bag = Total weight of bags of sand ÷ Number of bags of sand

= 30 lb / 8

= 3.75 lb per bag

price of sand per Ib = $1.80

PLS HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS

Answer:

  2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x. Then the problem statement is telling you ...

  4 5/9 = 2 1/3 + (5/6)x

You can isolate the x term by subtracting 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation. (The properties of equality require that the same operation be performed on both sides of the equation.)

  (4 5/9) - (2 3/9) = (2 3/9) -(2 3/9) +(5/6)x

  2 2/9 = (5/6)x

The definition of the multiplicative inverse tells you that the coefficient of x can be made to be 1 if the term is multiplied by (6/5). We must do that to both sides of the equation.

  (6/5)(2 2/9) = (6/5)(5/6)x

  (6/5)(20/9) = x . . . . simplify

  120/45 = x . . . . . . do the multiplication

  8/3 = x = 2 2/3 . . . . . . . reduce the fraction

The number is 2 2/3.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number we're looking for is multiplied by 5/6 and the result has 2 1/3 added to it. To find the number, we "undo" these operations, in reverse order. We undo the addition by subtracting the amount that was added. We undo the multiplication by multiplying by the inverse of that factor.

This is the sort of logic that you would use to fill in the blank for ...

  7 = 1 + 3×___

You probably recognize that this breaks down into two problems:

  7 = 1 + ___ . . . . . (6 goes in the blank)

and

  6 = 3×___

You may notice that for all of these problems, a good knowledge of addition and multiplication facts is useful.
