For this case we have the following subtraction:

$12-7$

We can rewrite the subtraction in an easier way.

We have then:

$12-7 = 12 - (5 + 2)$

Then, by doing associative property we have:

$12 - (5 + 2) = (12-2) - 5\\(12-2) - 5 = 10 - 5\\10 - 5 = 5$

Answer:

The value of the subtraction is given by:

$12-7 = 5$

The answer is 5 because I used an example to get my answer. The example I used was "Anna had 12 slices of apples, and she ate 7 slices. How many slices she have left?" That is my example to help for my answer. Another way is to draw 12 things, like pieces of candy, and cross out 7 pieces of candy, then count how many pieces of candy I haven't cross out.

I need help with coming up with equation

Natali5045456 [20]

Let's call a child's ticket $c$ and an adult's ticket $a$ . From this, we can say:

$c + a = 116$ ,

since 116 tickets are sold in total.

Now, we are going to need to find another equation (the problem asks us to solve a systems of equations). This time, we are not going to base the equation on ticket quantity, but rather ticket price. We know that an adult's ticket is $17,000, and a child's ticket is thus

$\$17000 \cdot (1 - \dfrac{1}{4}) = \$12750$ .

Given these values, we can say:

$17000a + 12750c = 1653250$ ,

since each adult ticket $a$ costs 17,000 and each child's ticket $c$ costs 12,750, and these costs sum to 1,653,250.

Now, we have two equations:

$17000a + 12750c = 1653250$

$c + a = 116$

Let's solve:

$17000a + 12750c = 1653250$

$a = 116 - c$

Find $a$ on its own, which will allow us to substitute it into the first equation

$17000(116 - c) + 12750a = 1653250$

Substitute in $116 - c$ for $a$

$1972000 - 17000c + 12750c = 1653250$

Apply the Distributive Property

$1972000 - 4250c = 1653250$

Combine like terms

$4250c = 318750$

Subtract 1972000 from both sides of the equation and multiply both sides by -1

$c = 75$

We have now found that 75 child's tickets were sold. Thus,

$75 + a = 116 \Rightarrow a = 116 - 75 = 41$ ,

41 adult tickets were sold as well.

In sum, 41 adult tickets were sold along with 75 child tickets.

Simplify x+2/x^2+2x-3 divide by x+2/x^2-x

ira [324]

$\dfrac{\frac{x+2}{x^2+2x-3}}{\frac{x+2}{x^2-x}}$

If $x\neq-2$ , then we can immediately cancel the factors of $x+2$ :

$\dfrac{\frac1{x^2+2x-3}}{\frac1{x^2-x}}=\dfrac{x^2-x}{x^2+2x-3}$

Factorize the numerator and denominator:

$x^2-x=x(x-1)$

$x^2+2x-3=(x+3)(x-1)$

Next, if $x\neq1$ , then

$\dfrac{x^2-x}{x^2+2x-3}=\dfrac{x(x-1)}{(x+3)(x-1)}=\dfrac x{x+3}$

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

hypotenuse = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can tell at first glance it is a 3,4,5 triangle (6,8,10)/2=(3,4,5). Then you know that c has to equal 5.

If not,

a^2+b^2=c^2

6^2+8^2=c^2

36+64=c^2

100=c^2

10=c
