Answer:
To subtract a number from another number, the sign of the number (which is to be subtracted) should be changed and then this number with the changed sign, should be added to the first number
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Evaluate (+6) – (+2)
= (+6) + (-2) (charging the sign of the number to be subtracted and then adding)
On subtracting smaller number 2 from bigger number 6; we get 6 – 2 = 4
Since, the sign of bigger number is + (positive)
= +4 or 4
Therefore, (+6) – (+2) = 4
(ii) Evaluate (+5) – (-3)
= (+5) + (+3) (charging the sign of the number to be subtracted and then adding)
We know, to add a positive (+ ve) number to a positive (+ ve) number, the numbers should be added and positive sign should be attached to the sum obtained.
= +8
Therefore, (+5) – (-3) = 8
Answer:
There are 12 pentapods and 8 Tripods, which in total add up to 84 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both the Tripods and the Pentapods have, at least, 3 feet (the Pentapods have 5), and that in total between both groups they add 20 heads and 84 feet, the following logical reasoning can be made:
If there are 20 heads, there are 20 Martians in all. Each of them has, at least, 3 feet, with which in principle the 20 Martians would add up to a total of 60 feet (20 x 3). Therefore, there is a surplus of 24 feet (84 - 60).
If the Pentapods have 2 feet more than the Tripods, the number of Pentapods in the total Martians is determined by that difference. Thus, if there are 24 feet left, there are 12 Pentapods (24/2).
Therefore, in the group of Martians there are 12 pentapods (12 x 5 = 60) and 8 Tripods (8 x 3 = 24), which in total add up to 84 feet (60 + 24).
