Well right off the bat, I can see a good reason why it should boggle.
If (x+y)=6 and (x-y)=2, then (x+y)(x-y) would be 12. It can't be 20.
The first 4 lines on the paper are inconsistent, so the question in the 5th line can't be calculated.
Another possible source of uncertainty (for us, anyway) is the remarkable similarity between the way you write ' Y ' and the way you write ' 4 ' . For example, look at the ' Y⁴ ' (I think ...) in the last line.
3
it’s just how far away that number is from zero
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
68 divided by 204 gives you 0.33 so round to nearest tenth and and go to 0.31 and then convert to percent and you have 31%
28 you take eight plus eight plus six plus six
Question 16
Given that two golfers completed one round of golf.
It is stated that the first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.
- Let suppose 'x' be the number of shots the first golfer took.
It is clear that the first golfer is 6 over par, while the second golfer is under 3.
Thus, the equation becomes:

adding -3 to both sides

simplify

Thus, the second golfer has taken 9 more shorts.
Question 17
When we talk about credit, it means:
Credit = +
When we talk about debt, it means:
Debit = -
Thus,
Credit = +84
Debt = -29
Balance = 84 + (-29)
= 84 - 29
= 55
Thus, the balance is: 55
