Reverse the sign of each term you are subtracting and then add as usual. Hope this helps!
One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction. When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".
Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.
If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.
If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time. You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
Answer:
15. ∠ABE = 50°
16. ∠EBD = 10n - 19
Step-by-step explanation:
If
bisects ∠ABD then we have ∠ABE = ∠DBE
So, we will have: (6x + 2)° = (8x - 14)°
⇒ 6x + 2 = 8x - 14
⇒ 8x - 6x = 14 + 2
⇒ 2x =16
⇒ x = 8
∴ ∠ABE = 6(8) + 2
= 48 + 2
= 50°
∴∠ABE = 50°
16. If
bisects ∠ABD then ∠ABE + ∠EBD = ∠ABD
⇒(12n - 8) + ∠EBD = (22n - 11)
⇒ ∠EBD = 22n - 11 - 12n + 8
⇒ ∠EBD = 10n - 3
Hence, the answer.
