So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even
even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct
then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even
so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even
so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer
An improper fraction is when the numerator is greater. For example, 1 7/8 = 15/8
Answer:21.2
do x/45 = 24/51 cross multiply and get 51x=1080 simplify and get 21.2
Answer:
answer would be the first choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
you would need to factor out x from the expression, then factor out -3 from the expression, factor the expression using a^2-B^2=(a-b)(a+b), afterwards you factor out the 4 from the expression, and then the 3x. Next you would factor out 2x+1, reduce the expression with x-5, reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2, you then reduce the expression with x-3, multiply the fractions, distribute 2 through the parenthesis, distribute the 3x through the parenthesis, and that should be all.
