Mathematics

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for subtraction, in this case it is -5-3, you change the subtraction sign to addition and use the opposite of the second number, making it -5+(-3) which is -8. Then, you add 1 to -8, and the rule for this specific expression is to take the absolute value of both -8 and 1, then subtract the two, making the expression as of now 8-1. Subtract them, and get 7, but you take the sign of whichever number had the greatest absolute value, which was -8, so now the answer is -7. That's how you get your answer

-5-3+1= -5+(-3)+1

-8+1= |-8|-|1|

8-1= -7 (because you take the sign with the greatest absolute value, which is -8.)

The price, P, of a sweater was discounted by 10% in
aalyn [17]

Answer:

In terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price P would represent 100% and the price was discounted by 10%, you can calculate 10% of 100% and subtract that amount, which would be:

100*10%=10

100-10=90%

This means that the price paid would be 90% of P. Then, the statement says that the price was discounted by another 20%. So, you have to calculate 20% of the price and subtract that amount from the price:

90*20%=18

90-18=72%

According to this, this means that in terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.

comon term in 6x^2 and 15x is 3x
3x(2x)+3x(5)=0
3x(2x+5)=0
set each to zero
3x=0
x=0

2x+5=0
2x=-5
x=-5/2


x=-5/2 and 0
