-13 is 4 less than a number n

n - 4 = -13 
MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Think of it like this.  Do you know what 4 less than a number n is?  Say n=5.  What's 4 less than 5?  That's 1.  What's 4 less than, say 7?  3.  We can write an expression: n-4.

So, if -13 is 4 less than n, or n-4, we have an equation: n-4 = -13 .  Are you familiar with negative numbers?  Well, what's 1-2?  That's -1.  Why?  Well, that's equal to 1-(1+1), which is equal to 1-1-1.  1-1=0, so this simplifies to 0-1.  Can you get any lower than 0?  Yes: using negatives!  0-1 equals 0 + -1.  Just like 0+1=1, 0 + -1 = -1.

Anyway, now we know about negative numbers.  Just think of -13 as 13 less than 0.  So we have n-4 = -13.  This could be your expression, if that's all you need.

Now, to solve, we need to find n, so we need to isolate it by adding 4 (the inverse operation) to both sides.  n-4+4 = -13+4.  n-4+4 equals n, but what's -13 + 4?  Well, if you're 13 below 0, but then you add another 4, then...you're 9 below 0, or -9!  So, n = -9.

Answer: n-4 = -13 OR n = -9

How do you find the slope and the y intercept for y= 12-2/3x
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

the slope is -2/3

and the y intercept is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 12 -2/3x

y = -2/3x + 12

the slope is -2/3

and the y intercept is 12

Why is the letter i the square root of negative one ( <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B-1%7D" id="TexFormula1" title=
Alja [10]

Answer:

It is an imaginary number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of negative one is "i," the imaginary number. This concept is immensely useful in mathematics, as it allows for there to be square roots of negative numbers, which is otherwise not possible using only real numbers.

Any number that includes a negative square root is called an imaginary number. For example, the square root of -9 equals 3i, an imaginary number. When an imaginary number and a real number are combined, for example 2 + 3i, this is called a complex number. Complex numbers have many real world applications, including manipulating sound waves and calculating electrical currents.

Football teams toss a coin to see who will get their choice of kicking or receiving to begin a game. the probability that given
Artist 52 [7]

In a toss coin, the only result is a head or a tails. Therefore that ½ of the time you can win or ½ of the time you can lose. Therefore the probability of losing three games in a row is:

<span>P = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2)
P = 0.125</span>

<span>Therefore the answer is “True”.</span>
