Answer: 2 5/15 (mixed number) or 35/15 (improper fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

For these problems, I like to make the mixed number an improper fraction, so 7 1/3 becomes 22/3 and 5 4/5 becomes 29/5. Now, because there denominators are not the same, we can find a LCM or least common multiple to make a common denominator. 15 is the least common denominator so we can turn 22/3 to 110/15 and 29/5 to 145/15. Now we can subtract the numerators. 145-110= 35. So 35/15. It is 2 5/15 as a mixed number. Hope this helps!

You can set it up as an equation:

29.95x + 2x

then plug in x = 7.

I'm not sure how this really relates to the distributive property though.

The additive universe of -7<br> 19

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$\dfrac{7}{19}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The number is not in proper form. Consider the given number is $-\dfrac{7}{19}$ .

If a number is added to another number and we get zero, then the added number is known as additive inverse.

Let a be a number, then

$a+(-a)=a-a=0$

So, -a is the additive inverse of a. It means, additive inverse is the same number with opposite sign.

Consider the given number is $-\dfrac{7}{19}$ .

$-\dfrac{7}{19}+\dfrac{7}{19}=0$

Therefore, the additive inverse of $-\dfrac{7}{19}$ is $\dfrac{7}{19}$ .
