Tom [10]

For this case we have the following subtraction:

$12-7$

We can rewrite the subtraction in an easier way.

We have then:

$12-7 = 12 - (5 + 2)$

Then, by doing associative property we have:

$12 - (5 + 2) = (12-2) - 5\\(12-2) - 5 = 10 - 5\\10 - 5 = 5$

bixtya [17]

Answer:

x= 1

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9y = -28

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: 12.65 ft

Pythagorean theorem is $a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

So, $a^{2}$ + $3^{2}$ = $13^{2}$

169 - 9 = 160
