Answer:
Subtract 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The first option, "take the ones digit", is obviously incorrect because the ones digit of 9 is not -1. The second one is incorrect because you are dividing by 2 and then adding 5. Dividing odd numbers by 2 will give you a decimal and a decimal plus an integer (the integer is 5 in this case) will still be a decimal (provided that the decimal is not an integer as well). However, both of the outputs are integers, so we know that the second one is wrong. The third one is wrong as well because 9 / 3 = 3, not -1. The last one is correct because 15 - 10 = 5 and 9 - 10 = -1.
Answer:
A) The value of a is <u>29</u>.
B) The value of b is <u>greater than 29</u>.
C) In both part A and part B we have used a common property which is addition property and that we have add 9 on both side of equation in both parts.
D) The value of a in part A is equal to 29 whereas in part B the value of b is greater than 29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for Part A.
Given,

We have to solve for a.

By using addition property of equality, we will add both side by 9;

Hence the value of a is <u>29</u>.
Solving for Part B.
Given,

We have to solve for b.

By using addition property of inequality, we will add both side by 9;

Hence the value of b is <u>greater than 29</u>.
Solving for Part C.
In both part A and part B we have used a common property which is addition property and that we have add 9 on both side of equation in both parts.
Solving for Part D.
The value of a in part A is equal to 29 whereas in part B the value of b is greater than 29.
I believe it would be under 8 percent since 9 is lower
