The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to zero. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". If we assume "x" to be a real number, then its additive inverse is "-x". On adding these two, we can see that the result comes to zero.
(4) 64 tiles, (5) 
, (6) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data: Side length of square tile = 1 ft
(4) Side length of square pool = 8 ft
= 64
Hence 64 tiles needed for the border.
(5) Suppose number of square tiles be N and side of square tub is s ft.
So, N = 
So, the expression is .
(6) The equivalent expression is 
.
If x = 1, then 3*1 = 3 which when modded with 5, we get 3 as a remainder. In other words, 3/5 = 0 remainder 3. We don't use the quotient at all when it comes to modular arithmetic. All we care about is the remainder.
If x = 2, then 3*2 = 6 which leads to remainder 1 when we divide by 5. Therefore, 3x = 1 (mod 5) when x = 2.
If x = 3, then 3*3 = 9 = 4 (mod 5) because 9/5 = 1 remainder 4.
So 3x = 4 (mod 5) when x = 3.
<h3>The final answer is C) 3</h3>
We don't need to check D since x = 3 is a solution and it's smaller than x = 4.
If you wanted to check x = 4, then 3*4 = 12 = 2 (mod 5) because 12/5 yields a remainder of 2.
