How do you add and subtract decimals as easily as you do whole numbers?

If you know how to add and subtract whole numbers, then you can add and subtract decimals! Just be sure to line up the terms so that all the decimal points are in a vertical line.
To add decimal numbers:

Put the numbers in a vertical column, aligning the decimal points
Add each column of digits, starting on the right and working left. If the sum of a column is more than ten, "carry" digits to the next column on the left.
Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the terms.
To subtract decimal numbers:

Put the numbers in a vertical column, aligning the decimal points.
Subtract each column, starting on the right and working left. If the digit being subtracted in a column is larger than the digit above it, "borrow" a digit from the next column to the left.
Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the terms.
Check your answer by adding the result to the number subtracted. The sum should equal the first number.

To add these numbers, first arrange the terms vertically, aligning the decimal points in each term. Don't forget, for a whole number like the first term, the decimal point lies just to the right of the ones column. You can add zeroes to the right of the decimal point to make it easier to align the columns. Then add the columns working from the right to the left, positioning the decimal point in the answer directly under the decimal points in the terms.



To subtract these numbers, first arrange the terms vertically, aligning the decimal points in each term. You can add zeroes to the right of the decimal point, to make it easier to align the columns. Then subtract the columns working from the right to the left, putting the decimal point in the answer directly underneath the decimal points in the terms. Check your answer by adding it to the second term and making sure it equals the first. Hope this helps.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It has to be either A or C because the function is decreasing as you move left to right, this only occurs when the number inside parenthesis is less than 1.

It isn't A because if you plug in x=0, the value is 2, but on the graph it is greater than 2.
