It’s a good idea to get into the habit of using parentheses

when substituting numbers in for variables.

If you have parentheses in your original problem, change them to brackets as you substitute (to avoid confusion).

Now plug in the values for b and c into the problem.

So we have [(-5) + (-3)].

Simplifying inside the brackets, we get [(-8)].

So -8 is the answer.

What is the number sentence for "1 less than N is the sum of Z and<br> 2"?

<em>What is the number sentence for "1 less than n is the sum of z and 2?"</em>

<em> </em> $\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

❖ First, Notice it says "1 less than n". This expression indicates that

we subtract 1 from n, which looks as follows:-

$\Large\textit{n-1}$

❖ Now, It also says "the sum of z and 2". This indicates that we add z and

2:-

$\Large\textit{z+2}$

❖ Now, Combine these two little expressions into one equation:-

$\implies\sf{n-1=z+2}$

<h3>Good luck with your studies.</h3>

Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(2\times x + 3\times y)$

and

Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(4\times x + 4\times y)$

According to the question,

$(2\times x + 3\times y) = 8$ -----(1)

$(4\times x + 4\times y) = 13$ -----(2)

multiplying (1) by 2 we get,

$(4\times x + 6\times y) = 16$ -----(3)

Deducting (2) from (3) we get,

$2\times y = 3$

⇒ $y = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ ------------------(4)

Putting value of y in (1) we get,

$(2\times x = 8 - 3\times 1.5) = 3.5$

⇒ $x =\frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75$ ------------(5)

I will mark you brainiest if you can answer this

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

12^4 or 20736

Step by Step Instructions:

really all you have to do is subtract the exponents. 12^7-12^3=12^4, if you want to expand the numbers you can do it that way too. 12^7=35831808, 12^3=1728, 35831808/1728=20736 (which is the same as 12^4)
