(1 7/10) / (3/5)
(17/10) / (3/5) =
17/10 * 5/3 =
85/30 =
2 5/6........yes, because 1 7/10 divided by 3/5 = 2 5/6...answer C
I Belive it might be ballad
2x = 7 + 3
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
S: {5}
What must be true is the expression will actually be adding 10 + (+ x), because of the two marks you have to make when subtracting by a negative.
The subtraction sign is also the negative sign. So in this case, the expression is also saying -x, which means there is two negative signs.
A double negative is a positive, so in this case the x will be turned to a positive integer.
If this is still too confusing, she can plug in a number to replace x. Let’s try it with -2:
Ex. 10 - (-2)= 12.
The two negative signs turn into one positive sign, AKA an addition sign. So, the above expression can be simplified as 10 + 2, or 12.
