Use a number line to add 3 + (-5).

Mathematics

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation: When your adding and subtracting positives and negatives, it helps to use a number line to visualise what's going on in the problem.

On a number line zero is in the middle. All numbers to the right of zero are positive and all numbers to the left of zero are negative.

So when your simplifying a problem like 3 + (-5), we start at zero and positive 3 takes us to the right. From there, -5 moves us 5 units back to the left and we end up -2. So 3 + (-5) simplifies to -2.

I have attached a number line along with my work

for this problem below.

Please help me simplify 12/75 to a decimal
mr_godi [17]

For this case we have the following fraction:

\frac{12}{75}

Dividing the numerator and the denominator between 3 we have:

\frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{75}{3}}

Then, multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4 we have:

\frac{4}{25} =  \frac{4}{25} *\frac{4}{4}

We observe that we have a number divided by 100. Therefore, we must move the comma two units to the left:

\frac{16}{100} = 0.16

Answer:

The number in its decimal form is given by:

\frac{12}{75} = 0.16

2/3x+5=7/3 <br> How do you solve this!
TEA [102]
You want to start by subtracting 5 from both sides to get 2/3x=-8/3 then cross multiply to get whole numbers which is 6=-24x then your gonna want to isolate the variable so divide both sides by -24 to get 6/-24=x then you can simplify to x=-1/4
