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)

Determine the equation of the line that is parallel to y=23x+4 and passes through the point (3,7).

Licemer1 [7]

Answer: y = 23x - 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

y = 23x + 4

m=23 b=4

Input x = 3, y = 7, & m = 23 into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation or the Slope-Intercept formula to find b (you already have m). I will choose the latter.

y = mx + b

7 = 23(3) + b

7 = 69 + b

-62 = b

m = 23, b = -62 --> y = 23x - 62

At a height of about 212 m one shell square is the tallest building in New Orleans Marley is creating a scale model of this buil

slega [8]

Answer:

0.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that One Shell Square is the tallest building in New Orleans with a height of about 212 meters and Marlie is creating a scale model of this building, using the scale 250 meters : 1 meter.

So to find the height of the scale model, we can simply use the ratio method.

$\frac{212 m}{250m} =\frac{x}{1}$
