Well, in the first one, 2 degrees below zero is -2 degrees, and then it says that it dropped 14 degrees, which means it dropped -14 degrees, so to know the total amount it dropped you would just have to add -2 plus -14 which is -16 degrees, so your answer for the first question would be the last answer, -16 degrees.
For the second question, just know that whenever a negative number is BY ITSELF in parentheses, that means it is used like a positive number in the equation. So (-12) automatically becomes 12. Now, since the problem is asking for a SUM, (the answer to an ADDITION problem; when you add instead of subtract), you would turn that minus symbol to a plus symbol, and add normally to get your final answer; 30 + 12 = 42. To check if this is correct, just type in <span>30 – (–12) to a calculator and you'll get the same answer! :D
Hope this helps! :3</span>
Answer: $30,000
Step-by-step explanation:
If Mr. Inahurry had a 10% loss, it means that he paid X for the house and only got back 90% (100% - 10%) of what he paid.
This way X . 90% = 27,000
X . 0.90 = 27,000
X = 27,000/0.9
X = 30,000
Counter-proof: 30,000 . 10% = 30,000 . 0.10 = 3,000
30,000 - 3,000 = 27,000
15.48 + 5.16 = p because you have to do the reverse. to find "p" you have to add the amount you subtracted.
Length = x - 2
Width = x - 5
Explanation:
Area = x^2 - 7x + 10
Area = (x - 2)(x - 5)
Area = Length x Width
Length = x - 2
Width = x - 5
OK so the factor of 10 is 1 times 10 and 5 times 2
