Usually negative numbers are in parentheses so people don't think that it is subtraction.

Answer:

Math books often put parentheses around the negative number you're subtracting so the signs don't run together, so 3 – –5 is the same as 3 – (–5).

Given: WY=ZX<br><br> A is the midpoint of WY.<br><br> A is the midpoint of ZX.<br><br> Prove: WA =ZA
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Given information: WY=ZX, A is the midpoint of WY and A is the midpoint of ZX.

To prove :  WA =ZA

Proof:

A is the midpoint of WY, it means A divides WY in two equal parts.

WA=AY

So, WY is twice of WA.

WY=2WA            .... (1)

A is the midpoint of ZX, it means A divides ZX in two equal parts.

ZA=AX

So, ZX is twice of ZA.

ZX=2ZA         ... (2)

WY=ZX                        (Given)

Substitute the values from equation (1) and (2).

2WA=2ZA

Divide both sides by 2.

WA=ZA

Hence proved.

A) Change 9 out of 50 to a percentage.​
Artist 52 [7]

Hey there! Your question’s answer would be 18%..

Ok so 9/50 would be 9% out of 50% which is also 100%. If you want to find 50% turn to 100%, multiply 50 with 2 to get 100.

So you do the same thing to 9%. 9 times 2 would be 18%.

Final Result: 9% out of 100% (whole)
