His estimate is reasonable. But only if Michael is less than 2 years old.
You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
Prime factors are factors of a number that are, themselves, prime numbers. There are many methods to find the prime factors of a number, but one of the most common is to use a prime factor tree.
Answer: 5.37 as a mixed number is 5 37/100
To write a decimal number as a mixed number, you must separate the whole part of the decimal part:
5.37 = 5 + 0.37 = 5 0.37
And express the decimal part as a fraction:
0.37=37/100
Then:
Answer: 5.37 as a mixed number is 5 37/100
