Answer:

Property of additive inverse

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a number a is -a as:

a + (-a) = 0 = (-a) + a

So, Susan tried to add the additive inverse of her subtrahend 91.

Let's see how it works:

(200-91) + 91 = 200 + (-91 + 91) (associative property of addition)

= 200 + 0 (additive inverse property)

= 200, the original number.

Hence, her check is correct.

This strategy works because if you subtract one number from another the sum of the two numbers should be the that is being subtracted from. (In this case, it's 200)

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 122. what are the integers?

Volgvan

Answer:

If the numbers were the same, they'd both be 61

So, try 60 and 62.

x + x+2 = 122

2x = 120

x = 60

Hope that helps!

Find the equation of a circle whose endpoints of the diameter are (15, - 3) and (7,3). The equation of the circle is (Simplify y

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

(x - 11)² + y² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the center

O = ( (15 +7 / 2), (-3 + 3)/2 )

O = (11, 0)

Then find the radius squared

use the distance formula from the center to either end point of the diameter

r² = (15 - 11)² + (-3 - 0)²

r² = 16 + 9

r² = 25

Formula for circle

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(h, k) is the center = (11, 0)

The equation is

(x - 11)² + y² = 25

If numerator is 2 less than the denominator of a rational number and when 1 is subtracted from numerator and denominator both, t

xenn [34]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator be x
So, numerator = x - 2
According to the given condition: when 1 is subtracted from numerator and denominator both, the resulting new rational number in its simplest form is $\frac{1}{2}$
