Let the unknown number be x.
5/11 * x = 55
Since x is being multiplied by 5/11, and you want x alone, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/11 which 11/5.
11/5 * 5/11 * x = 55/1 * 11/5
x = 605/5
x = 121
Answer: The number is 121.
Let the numbers be x , x+1 and x+2
Then:-
3x = x + 2 - 6
3x - x = -4
2x = -4
x = -2
So the 3 integers are -2, -1 and 0. answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.
Suppose we have a positive integer,
x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.
For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0
I'd say neither because 5.82-4.21 equals to 1.61, and it does not go above 2 as an overestimate. In addition, it's not an underestimate because 1.61 rounds up to 2. If you can't put that as an answer, you can say its an underestimate because it does not meet the real standards of being 2.
