How are the expressions 8-15 and 8-(-15)?how are they different?

Mathematics
1 answer:

8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.

8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7

8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23

8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.

Bill notes that his apple tree is 4/5 the size of his pear tree is apple tree is 4 M tall how tall is the pear tree
e-lub [12.9K]

1) Given that the apple tree is 4/5 pear tree we can write

Apple Tree size = 4/5 Peartree

Apple tree= 4m

2) So we can write the following expression for that:

\begin{gathered} Apple=\frac{4}{5}P \\ 4=\frac{4}{5}_{}P \\ 4P=20m \\ P=\frac{20}{4} \\ P=5 \\  \\  \end{gathered}

So the Pear tree is 5 meters tall, and the apple tree is 4/5*5 = 4 m
