The additive inverse: The usage of addition with a negative number.
The original equation is 21 - 11 = 10
To use the additive inverse, change it so that there is an addition sign.
21 + (-11) = 10
B) -11 is your answer
hope this helps
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Hello,
nice as problem.

Here x has a power of 5 as divider and a power of 2 as divider (in order to make a power of 10.



 
 Numbers of dividers: (8+1)*(7+1)=9*8=72
 
        
        
        
There is the formula now just plug in the values and you will get your answer.
 
        
        
        
It is 12 since 1/6=6^-1=6
implies 2*6=12
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side
(s+4) = the 2nd side
and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.
(2s-4) = the 3rd side
If the perimeter of the deck is 48 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?
s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48
Combine like terms
s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48
4s = 48
s = 48/4
s = 12 ft is the shortest side
I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48 
Hope this helps!
