<span>When we remove those parentheses, the sign of every term
within the parentheses changes.</span>
Problem 2. Remove the parentheses.
a) p + (q −r + s) <span>= p + q − r + s</span>
b) p − (q −r + s) <span>= p − q + r − s</span>
In each of the following problems, remove the parentheses, then simplify
by adding the numbers.
For example,
<span><span><span>(x − 3) − (y − 4)</span> = <span>x − 3 − y + 4</span></span> <span> = <span>x − y + 1.</span></span></span>
The sign preceding (x − 3) is understood to be + . Therefore the signs within those parentheses do not change.
But the sign preceding (y − 4) is minus. Therefore, y changes to −y, and −4 changes to +4.
Finally, it is the style in algebra to to write the literal terms, x − y, to the left of the numerical term.
Cody because 18 out of 20 is %90 and 24 out of 30 is %80
Answer:
a) 118
b) 55
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Originally, there are 2 red balls and a total of 17 balls.
8/9 = (2 + x) / (17 + x)
8 (17 + x) = 9 (2 + x)
136 + 8x = 18 + 9x
x = 118
b) Originally, there are 8 white balls and a total of 17 balls.
1/9 = 8 / (17 + x)
17 + x = 72
x = 55
Answer:
She got a 87 on her chemistry test
Step-by-step explanation:
(72 + 85 + 92 + x)/4 = 84
249 + x = 336
x = 87
