Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the correct answer because the equation matches option A.

(-2 1/2) + (-3 1/4)

The minus sign in -2 1/2 shows that the submarine descended and then descended again with the addition sign. Though the addition sign can mean that it ascended its incorrect.

With the equation in hand, we can prove that option A is correct.

If the submarine descended 2 1/2 miles then here must be a minus sign next to the 2 1/2. But if it ascended then there would've been an addition sign to show that it ascended. The other value - 3 1/4 also shows that it ascended with the help of the addition sign.

Ascends - values increase from smallest to highest.

Descends - values decrease from highest to smallest.

Raul has $460 in his checking account. Each month, $45 is automatically deducted from his account to pay for his cell phone plan

MissTica

X=number of months
how much is deducted total=number of months times amount deducted per m onth
amount deducted per month=45
number of months=x
how much deducted total=45x

460-deducted total is more than 100
460-45x>100
solve for x
add 45x to both sides
460>100+45x
subtract 100
360>45x
divide both sides by 45
8>x
answer is 7 months

Answer:

PB = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm and AB = 9 cm

∆ABC is similar to ∆APQ.

Therefore:

$\frac{AB}{AP} = \frac{BC}{PQ}$

Plug in the values

$\frac{9}{AP} = \frac{10}{8}$

Cross multiply

AP × 10 = 8 × 9

AP × 10 = 72

Divide both sides by 10

AP = 7.2

PB = AB - AP

PB = 9 - 7.2

PB = 1.8
