On simplifying the expression 13.8+ (-11.5) , we get 2.3 . And additions
13.8 + (-11.5) and (-13.8) + 11.5 are numbers will same value and opposite sign.
<h3>What are rules for adding a positive and a negative number?</h3>
For adding a negative and a positive number, use the sign of the larger number and subtract.
For example: (–8) + 2 = -6
Given that we have to solve 13.8 + (-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 (we subtract smaller no from larger and will use the sign of lager number that is + here)
13.8+(-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 =2.3
13.8+(-11.5) simply means that 13.8 -11.5 which is subtraction of 11.5 from 13.8
but (-13.8) + 11.5 = -13.8 +11.5 = -( 13.8 -11.5) [taking -1 common from the expression]
Therefore , -13.8 + 11.5 has same value as 13.8- 11.5 but opposite in sign.

Another way to do it is
2x-y=17
x-y=10, x=10+y
substitute x=10+y for x in 2x-y=17 and get
2(10+y)-y=17
20+2y-y=17
20+y=17
subtract 20 from both sides
y=-3
subsitute y=-3 into equation x-y=10
x-(-3)=10
x+3=10
subtract 3 from both sides
x=7
or subsitute into 2x-y=17
2x-(-3)=17
2x+3=17
subtract 3 from both sides
2x=14
divide both sides by two
x=7

Step-by-step explanation:


Pythagorean Theorem :)
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - y = 30
Given;
y = 15
To find;
value of 'x'
Putting the value of y in the given equation;
3x - 15 = 30
3x = 30 + 15
3x = 45
x = 45/3
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
- 3(x-2)>12
- 3x-6>12
- 3x>12+6
- x>18/3
- x>6
hope it helps.
