Answer:

q = - $\frac{1}{3}$ p

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}$ less than p = $\frac{2}{3}$ p

Thus

p + q = $\frac{2}{3}$ p ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3p + 3q = 2p ( subtract 3p from both sides )

3q = - p ( divide both sides by 3 )

q = - $\frac{1}{3}$ p

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(-2z^2-14)-(-12z^2)=10z^2-14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-2z^2-14)-(-12z^2)=-2z^2-14+12z^2\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-2z^2+12z^2)-14=10z^2-14$

Answer:

-8n + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A = -3n + 2

B = 5n - 7

Before solving you have to know that,

( + ) × ( + ) = ( + )

( - ) × ( - ) = ( + )

( + ) × ( - ) = ( - )

Let us solve now.

A - B

-3n + 2 -(5n - 7)

-3n + 2 - 5n + 7

Combine like terms

-3n - 5n + 2 + 7

-8n + 9

Hope this helps you.

Let's solve ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - 4 \sqrt{135} + 7 \sqrt{15}$

$\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: - 4 \sqrt{5 \times3 \times 3 \times 3} + 7 \sqrt{15}$

$\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:( - 4 \times 3) \sqrt{5 \times 3} + 7 \sqrt{15}$

$\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: - 12 \sqrt{15 } + 7 \sqrt{15}$

$\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: - 5 \sqrt{15}$
