Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
Let x = # of 25-cent stamps
y = # of 2-cent stamps
{ x+ y = 88
{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56
60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps
The additive inverse of something is whats added to the original to get 0
So in this case n - n = 0, which is B :)
Answer:
Multiplying/simplifying, it is x^2-100(found by the FOIL method)
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the commons factors x times x is x squared
-10 times 10 is -100. Negative times positive is negative.
