Answer: C) 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Let x be some integer from the set {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.
The multiplicative inverse of x is a number y such that x*y = 1.

Since we want x and y to be the same, this means y = x

Use substitution to go from 
x*y = 1
to 
x*x = 1
Basically I've replaced y with x

Now solve for x
x*x = 1
x^2 = 1
x = +-sqrt(1)
x = 1 or x = -1

There are 2 values of x where they are their own multiplicative inverse
1*1 = 1
(-1)*(-1) = 1

Which equation represent two less than a number is equal to 10
Rainbow [258]
For this question, we can make the number equal to n. Since two less than it is equal to ten, we know that we are dealing with subtraction. In addition, we know that doing something to n makes it equal to 10. And that something is subtracting two from it. that means that the equation that represents this scenario is n - 2 = 10.

Solve the equation for y<br> Y minus 5 equals 1/3 (x plus 12)
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

ok so this problem you are basically just rearranging it. you're going to want y by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's start with the original equation: 5-y=1/3x +12

so first you have to move the five over, so you subtract 5 from both sides. -y=1/3x+12-5

then you subtract the 5 from the twelve since they're like terms: -y=1/3x+7

and finally you have to move the negative over. when you move the negative think of it like dividing negative one from both sides, everything on the other side has to get the negative.

so we're left with y=-1/3x-7

I hope this helps!
