-9 more than a number results in -20

Mathematics

damaskus [11]2 years ago

Answer:

-9+x=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not so positive on this one, but if you are not doing inequalities, then this should be correct.

"More than" would insinuate that you are adding. In this class, you would have a number to replace that x, but since no number was given, you place the x in its place. x=-11, because when you "add" -9 with something to get -20, it would have to be -11. Negative numbers can be confusing because when you subtract a negative number by another negative, you end up with a negative. Like in this case. Normally, you would just put -11, so it would look like -9 - 11 = -20. But since this says "more than", unless you are doing inequalities, you add.

If you are doing inequalities, then your answer should be this:

-9 > x = -20

I hope this helps!

-No one

Name the property shown by each statement.
vlada-n [284]
Most of these problems are the commutative property:

Addition
a + b = b + a

Multiplication
a * b = b * a

and the associative property:

Addition
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Multiplication
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

There's also the Identity property:

Addition \ Subtraction:
a + 0 = a \ a - 0 = a

Multiplication \ Division:
a * 1 = a \ a / 1 = a

A company recently downsized its number of employees by 30​%. If there are still 70 ​employees, how many employees were there pr
wolverine [178]
Hello there! Given there are 70 employees after downsizing by 30%, let x equal the number of employees prior to the layoffs:

70 would have to be 70% of x.

To find what 70 is 70% of, we can multiply by 100 because 100 is the base denominator:

70 • 100 = 7,000

Given this equation, we can now divide our result by 70 to get what the amount of employees before the layoffs is:

7,000 divided by 70 gives us 100.

x = 100

Now, we can plug our answer in to see if it makes sense.

Does 70/100 represent 70%?

Yes, it does. 70/100 reduces to 7/10, and by adding 3/10 to our 70%, we get the initial amount of employees.

Your final answer: There were 100 employees prior to the layoffs. If you have any extra questions, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
