Given parameters:

Number of boxes Athena bought for the party  = x

Number of cookies per box = 10

Number of cookies she brought to the party = 70

Number removed  = 2 boxes

Unknown:

Equation of the number of boxes = ?

Solution:

    1 box of cookies contains 10 cookies

If Athena, removed 2 boxes, in those two boxes, we have 20 cookies

 Total number of cookies  = 70 + 20 = 90 cookies;

So;

    x  = \frac{total number of cookies}{number of cookies per box}

   Therefore;

                    x  = \frac{90}{10}boxes

When x-y=3 work out the value of y-x
GalinKa [24]

The value of y-x is (-3)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given: The value of x-y=3

To find: The value of y-x

\bold{x-y=3\rightarrow (1)}

Let's multiply the equation (1) by (- 1) on both sides,

\Rightarrow\bold{(x - y)\times(- 1) = 3\times(- 1)}

\Rightarrow\bold{-(x-y)=-3}

On multiplying the sign,

\Rightarrow\bold{(-x+y)=-3}

The above equation can also be written as,

\Rightarrow\bold{y-x=-3\rightarrow \text{(The required equation)}}

<u>Multiplication of signs:</u>

\Rightarrow( + )\times( + ) = ( + )

\Rightarrow( + )\times( - ) = ( - )

\Rightarrow( - )\times( + ) = ( - )

\Rightarrow( - )\times( - ) = ( + )

In simpler terms, when we multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive and when we multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.

Given that El bisects ZCEA, which statements must be
Alexxx [7]

Question: Given that BE bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select THREE options.

(See attachment below for the figure)

m∠CEA = 90°

m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF

m∠CEB = 2(m∠CEA)

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle.

Answer:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Line AE is perpendicular to line CF, which is a straight line. This creates two right angles, <CEA and <AEF.

Angle on a straight line = 180°. Therefore, m<CEA + m<AEF = m<CEF. Each right angle measures 90°.

Thus, the three statements that must be TRUE are:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle
