since the 5 is a negative you are actually subtracting it from 3
so 3 +(-5) is actually 3-5. which = -2
Answer: 12 packages
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Take 175 and divide it by 15</em>
<em>175/15</em>
<em>You will get 11.6</em>
<em>Since you are unable to order 11.6 packages you will need to order </em><em>12</em><em> packages to have enough lightbulbs.</em>
<u><em>The law illustrated is Distributive Law</em></u>
This question is under a topic called algebra laws.
The laws are;
- Commutative law; This implies that when we are to add or multiply numbers, the order of addition or multiplication doesn't matter as we will still get same result.
- Associative law; This implies that if we want to add more than 2 numbers, if we decide to add the first 2 before adding the third one, we will still get the same result as if we added the second one to the third one before adding to the first one. This law also applies to multiplication.
- Distributive law; This implies that when two numbers are multiplied to produce a result, both numbers are factors of the result.
We are told in the question that ; 5n x 1 = 5n
This means that 5n and 1 are factors of 5n and this corresponds to distributive law

Answer:
The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper
Step-by-step explanation:
- Taylor wants to center a 3.5 inch picture on a piece of paper that is
12 inches wide
- Lets think about that he want to put the picture in the center of the
paper, then divide the length of the paper into two equal parts and the
picture into two equal part
∵ The width of the paper is 12 inches
∵ 12 ÷ 2 = 6 inches
∵ The width of the picture is 3.5 inches
∵ 3.5 ÷ 2 = 1.75
- Now lets subtract from 6 inches (half paper) 1.75 inches (half picture)
to find the distance between the side of the paper and the picture
∵ 6 - 1.75 = 4.25
∴ The distance from the side of the paper to the picture is 4.25 inches
* <em>The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper</em>
