When you subtract a number, you get the same results as when you add the opposite number. Why?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the opposite of a number is the same number with the opposite sign. For example, the opposite of -1 is 1.

So, say we have an equation where we're subtracting a number, for example, 2-1, which obviously equals 1. Now, if we add the opposite of 1 to 2, we get the equation 2+(-1) which still equals 1.

I hope this helps!

in a box full of oranges, apples, and pears in a ratio 2:5:6. What is the total weight of the fruits in the box if it was known
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

31.2 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x = weight of oranges

5x = weight of apples

6x = weight of pears

2x + 5x + 6x = total weight

2x = 4.8

x = 2.4

4.8 + 5(2.4) + 6(2.4) = 4.8 + 12 + 14.4

= 31.2 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 61+68= 129

180-129= 51

2) 61 is across it so they have the same number

3) 61 +90= 151

180-151= 29

When you know your equation f(x) and they want you to find f(-4), it means that they want to know what f(x) is worth when x=-4 Therefore, you only need to plug in you x in the equation f(x)=5x-2 f(-4)=5(-4)-2 =-20-2 =-22 (B)
