Answer:

k-n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

How many numbers are written from n to k

Lets look at a smaller example with real number

Lets go from 3 to 8

3 4 5 6 7 8

There are 6 numbers

We take 8 -3 = 5, but we include the number 3 so we add it back in +1

5+1 =6

Lets look at a larger example

2 to 11

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

There are 10 numbers

11-2 =9 but we have to add back in the first number

9+1 =10

Now we are going from n to k

k-n = k-n, but we have to add back in the first number

k-n+1

The store that is larger sells shirts at a better price because they have greater supply in comparison to the demand of shirts. The price is $2.99 because the larger store offers a discount of 10%.

Answer:

m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

m - 7 = -10

Ok so,

in order to get m by itself you just need to do the opposite of -7 which is +7 so you have to add 7 to both sides. On the left, both of the 7's cancel out and on the right -10 + 7 = -3. So, now it should look like this.

m=-3

To check you just need to plug in -3 into the question

Hope this helps! Have a good day

BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities

A camper wants to know the width of a river. From point A, he walks downstream 60 feet to point B and sights a canoe across the

Anarel [89]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:

$Tan\alpha =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$
