Let's do subtraction by first starting with the ones place and then the tenths place of the subtrahend.
45-4=41; 44, 43, 42, 41
41-.5= 40.5; 40.9, 40.8, 40.7, 40.6, 40.5
45-4.5=40.5
We can check by using addition.
40.5+4.5=
44+1=
45
Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.

First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).

Now subtract 12.

Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.
The bottom 2 i’m pretty sure, sorrry if it’s wrong
Answer:
Total Distance = 2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know D = RT where
D is distance
R is rate (speed)
T is time
First Leg:
Rate = x mph
Time = 20/60 = 1/3 hour
Hence, D = RT, Distance = x * 1/3 = x/3 miles
Second Leg:
Rate = x - 1
Time = 30/60 = 1/2 hour
Distance = (x - 1) * 1/2 = (x-1)/2
Total distance is the sum of both the legs, hence,
Total distance =
miles
Since both the distance are equal we can equate and solve:

Plugging this x = 3 into the total distance expression, we get:

Total distance, 2 miles
