Which real-world story is represented by the addition problem (–2 1/2) + (–3 1/4) = –5 3/4?

Answer:

A

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.

ryan has a mix of action and sports games for a total of 39 video games his action collection is three more than half his sports

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

He have <u>15</u> action games and <u>24</u> sports games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ryan has a mix of action and sports games for a total of 39 video games his action collection is three more than half his sports collection.

Now, to find the number of action games and sports games.

Let the sports games be $x.$

As, given his action collection is three more than half his sports collection.

Thus, the action games = $3+\frac{x}{2}$ .

Total number of video games = 39.

So, we set an equation to get the number of action games and sports games:

$x+(3+\frac{x}{2})=39$

$x+3+\frac{x}{2} =39$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3 we get:</em>

$x+\frac{x}{2} =36$

$\frac{2x+x}{2}=36$

$\frac{3x}{2} =36$

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

$3x=72$

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

$x=24.$

<u>The sports games he have = 24.</u>

Now, to get the action games we substitute the value of $x$ :

$3+\frac{x}{2}$

= $3+\frac{24}{2}$

= $3+12$

= $15.$

<u>The action games he have = 15.</u>

Therefore, he have 15 action games and 24 sports games.
