Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(-8a - 1)- (-7a + 5) = -8a - 1 - 7a*(-1) + 5*(-1) { (-1) is disturbed to all the terms in (-7a +5)}
= -8a - 1 + 7a - 5
= -8a + 7a -1 - 5 {Combine like terms}
= -a - 6
The consecutive number = 1,2 or 7,8 not 5,8 etc
whole number = 1,6,100
square root of 60 = 7.746
so, if you want to know two consecutive whole numbers b/w swrt of 60
that would be
7 less than 7.6 less than 8
6 divided by 1/4 = 24 + 12 divided by 1/4 = 48, then 48 + 24 = 72
((4x+15)/(5x)) = 1/2
4x+15 = (5x)/2
8x+30=5x
3x+30=0
3x=-30
x=-10
