Answer: 6</h3>
Mark the locations -6 and 0 on the number line. Note that going from -6 to 0, or vice versa, will take exactly 6 steps. Put another way, the distance between 0 and -6 is 6 units. Absolute value represents distance, so it is never negative.
We say
Effectively, all we're doing is removing the negative sign.
Answer: arithmetic
Step-by-step explanation:
arithmetic is if it is added or subtracted by a common number while geometric is multiplied or divided by a common number.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is about the benefits of estimation.
1300/13 is easy and results in 100.
1287/13 can be approximated by 1300/13: 1287/13 ≈ 100.
Actually, 1287 = 1300 - 13 = 13(99); just subtract 1 from 100.
So: 1287/13 = 1300 - 13 = 1287. A nice bit of mental math!
Answer:
4:1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+20 : y+20 = 5 : 2
(x+20)/(y+20) = 5/2
2(x+20) = 5(y+20)
2x+40 = 5y+100
2x = 5y+60 (1)
x-5 : y-5 = 5:1
(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/1
x-5 = 5(y-5)
x-5 = 5y-25
x = 5y-20 (2)
Solve (1) & (2) simultaneously,
2(5y-20) = 5y+60
10y-40 = 5y+60
5y = 100
y = 20
x = 5y-20
x = 5(20)-20 = 100-20
x = 80
x:y
80:20
