Answer:
-16.4, (commutative property)
Step-by-step explanation:
(add, because they are both negatives) -5.2+(-8.4)= -13.6
Then add the (-2.8): -13.6 + (-2.8) = -16.4
Thats your first equation!!!
do the same thing for the other one, and by the way it the same answer.
Its commutative prop because its just switching positions and its adding negatives.
My guy I have no idea so I would just cheat sorry
Explaination
<span>n = 11<span>.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of boxes Mark sells and a be the number of boxes Ann sells.
Since Mark sells 10 less than n, m = n-10. Since Ann sells 2 less than n, a = n-2.
Together, they sold n-10+n-2=2n-12 boxes.
We know that they sold less than n boxes, so our inequality would be
2n-12<n.
To solve this, subtract n from both sides:
2n-12-n<n-n; n-12<0.
Add 12 to both sides:
n-12+12<0+12; n<12.
This means there were less than 12 boxes. The next number down is 11; this woks because Mark sold 10 less than n; 11-10=1. Mark sold at least 1 box.
If n=10, however, 10-10=0; this doesn't work, because Mark did sell at least 1 box. </span></span>
Just write down the negative values of each withdrawal and add up those values for the first two.
1. -25 + -45 + -75 = -145
2.-35 + -55 + -65 = -155
As for the third question, the brother took out $10 more than Julie, so he withdrew $165. A possible equation with possible values could be:
3. -15 + -65 + -85 = -165
Keep in mind that there are multiple ways to answer the third question and that's only one of them. Hope this helped!
