We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0 (1)
x + y = 40 (2)
Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0 (3)
Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40
Answer: Multiply by -1.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have to add 2 to X to get it back to the original, it started out 2 to the left. (It would seem like it ought to be C, but when you add an subtract from the x value in functions, it's opposite of what you might think.)
Think through this one...
9:48 + 9 minutes = 9:57
9:57 + 30 minutes = 10:27
10:27 + 3 hours = 1:27 p.m.
There is a property called "Quotient of powers property", which states that:

Where "a" is the common base and "m" and "n" are exponents.
For this case, you have:

Then, in order to find the quotient, you must apply the Quotient of powers property. You need to write the common base (in this case is 3) and then subtract the exponents.
So, you get that the quotient is:
