Lets take (-4) - (-6)
= -4 + 6 (here we changed the sign because in integers when you are subtracting <span>an integer, we put its opposite..thats the rule .)
=. -4 + 6 = 2
so here we got the answer as 2 .....this shows that </span>your answer will be less than the integer you started with ....this is because here in subtraction we will first change the sign and then follow the same rules of addition ...so here if both the numbers have opposite signs then we subtract and put the greater number sign .....
<span>
Hope i am right !!!</span>
The answer is most likly to be B.
Its impossible for there to be 2.5 children so im assuming you meant 25.
therefore
25= 100%
100/14= 7.1
7.1% of Mr. carters class were girls
Answer:
Number of $5 bills = 32
Number of $10 bills = 14
Number of $20 bills = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x number of $5, y number of $10 and z number of $20
The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4.
Therefore, x = 2y + 4
The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.
Therefore, z = y - 6
A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.
Therefore,
5x + 10y + 20z = 460
Substitute x and y into equation
5(2y+4) + 10y + 20(y-6) = 460
10y + 20 + 10y + 20y - 120 = 460
40y - 100 = 460
40y = 460 + 100
40y = 560
y = 14
- Put the value of y into x = 2y + 4 and solve for x
x = 2(14) + 4
x = 32
- Put the value of y into z = y - 6 and solve for z
z = 14 - 6
z = 8
Hence, the each type of bills,
Number of $5 bills = 32
Number of $10 bills = 14
Number of $20 bills = 8
