Answer:
(4+5-2+1)- (7+3-8+6) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
you look for what numbers when subtracted equal zero (in this case each of the parentheses is 8) in each of the parentheses and combine them at the end to form the final equation.
(ab + 174)/3 <115
multiply by 3 on each side
ab + 174 < 345
subtract 174 from each side
ab < 171
248+ ab >366
subtract 248 from each side
ab> 118
Answer 118< ab < 171
Well we already know that the 36:100 is correct because it is the starting amount, to check the 18:50 50 is half of the 100 insects so you would divide 36 by 2 which gives you half of 36 which is 18 so we can check off 18:50 as correct. Idk about the final one but the other two are correct.
It would be 400. Hope this helped. :)
