Trying to understand long division formula. 5 divided by 285.I have it down to 28-25 and i have 035 but why is 35 subtracted by
35 at the end ? Please explain where the 2nd 35 comes from.

Explanation:
At each step, the product of the quotient digit and the divisor is subtracted from the dividend. This gives you the new dividend.
When the quotient digit is 7, the product of 7 and 5 is subtracted from the dividend. The dividend at that point is 35, so you have 35 - 35 = 0. The 0 is the next dividend. Among other things, that tells you you're done. (Any additional quotient digits will be zero.)

Consider the system of inequalities
1. Plot all lines that are determined by equalities (see attached diagram)
2. Determine which bounded part of the plane you should select:
means that you should take points with y-coordinates greater than or equal to 2 (top part of the coordinate plane that was formed by the red line);
means that you should take points with x-coordinates less than or equal to 6 (left part of the coordinate plane that was formed by the blue line);
- for
you can check where the origin is placed. Since
, the origin belongs to the needed part and you have to take the right part of the coordinate plane that was formed by green line.
- for
you can check where the origin is placed. Since
, the origin belongs to the needed part and you have to take the bottom part of the coordinate plane that was formed by orange line.
3. According to the previous explanations, the shaded region is as in A diagram.
Answer: correct choice is A.
