Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

people in building ---- x

children --- y

men + women + children = x

(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x

3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x

times 14

6x + 5x + 14y = 14x

14y = 3x

y + 220 =x

sub into the other one

14y = 3(y+220)

11y = 660

y = 60

then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120

leaving 160 women and children

5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:
