-13+9=-4
When you add a positive number to a negative number the answer will get closer to 0 and then progress up in positive numbers. In this case we are finding which of the numbers equals -4 when added to -13. Remember, if you add a negative to a negative you will get a negative.
-13+-17=-30 This is the wrong answer.
-13+-9=-21 This is the wrong answer.
-13+17=4 This is the wrong answer. (This is positive 4 we are trying to find -4)
-13+9=-4 This is the right answer
Therefore X=9
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
