Suppose you cannot remember the answer to 15-8=7. What could you do to solve?

You can think in reverse. Addition is the opposite of subtraction. So to solve 15-8, you can ask "8 plus what number is equal to 15?" and note how 8+7 = 15. So that's why 15-8 = 7. Similarly, 15-7 = 8 can be solved the same way.

Calculate either in your head or on a paper what plus 8 equals 15, you can solve it easily this way. It is probably easier to do in your head (9, 10, 11, ...), continue on and make sure to remember how much is the sum.

There are a total of 100 balloons. If the ratio of yellow balloons to blue balloons is 8 to 12, how many of them are yellow

Ivanshal [37]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total}$

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total} \\ 8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow$

Finally, solve for x:

$8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow \\ 8*100=20*x \\ 800=20x \\ 800/20=20x/20 \\ x=40yellow$

If you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

ΔABC≅ΔDEC by AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the AAS method of congruency.

Since you already have <BAC and <EDC congruent to eachother, and sides BC and EC congruent to each other, you only need that one remaining angle in between. <ACB can be proven congruent to <DCE by the Vertical Angles Theorem, and that gives you the AAS you need to prove that these two triangles are congruent

Hope this helped.
