Find the difference.
15 - (-5) =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  20

===========================================

Explanation:

The two negatives cancel to form a positive. A negative is just opposite. So we have two opposites canceling.

15 - (-5) = 15 + 5 = 20

--------------

Here's another way to look at it:

Let's say we're on the 15th floor of a skyscraper. We can think of each floor of the skyscraper as part of a vertical number line (or ruler).

If we go up 5 floors, then we write 15+5 = 20 showing we end up on the 20th floor.

If we go down 5 floors, then we write 15-5 = 10

Adding makes us go up, subtracting makes us go down.

If we add on a positive number, then we go up, but adding on a negative number ultimately has us go downward.

This is because of something like 15 + (-5) = 15 - 5 = 10.

Subtracting a negative is really the same as adding. Subtracting pulls us down, but the negative counterbalances things to go the opposite direction (going up). So that's why 15-(-5) = 15+5 = 20.

--------------

Yet another way to look at it:

Negative values are useful in finance when talking about debt.

If you have 5 iou's of debt, then we write this as -5

If you transfer that debt to a friend whos account balance is $15, then their balance becomes 15 + (-5) = 10 dollars. They would have 10 dollars left after paying the debt.

Now let's say the friend got those iou's taken away and someone else paid for them. That would mean we would say 15 - (-5) = 15+5 = 20 is that first friend's new balance. Effectively they got 5 additional dollars when that debt was taken off their hands.

30. Find the equation of straight line whose slope
is 3 times and y-intercept is double of the line
2x - 3y = 4.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient/slope = 3

y-intercept

2x - 3y = 4

3y = 2x - 4

y = 2/3x - 4/3

so y-intercept is double -4/3 so... -4/3x2 = -8/3

the equation of the line is

y = 3x - 8/3 or 9x - 3y = 8

Answer:

3y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

when y intercept x=0

2(0)-3y=4

-3y=4

y=-4/3

when x intercept y=0

2x -3(0)=4

2x =4

x=2

A. 333.3
B. 266.6
C. 600
D. 200

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is D) 200

Step by step explanation:

Let x be the number:

Then,

→15/100(x)=30

→3/20(x)=30

→3x/20=30

→3x=20⋅30

→3x=600

→x=600/3=200

Hope it helps!

Answer:

D 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are find be x. We can write this as an equation:

30 = 15%*x = (15/100)x

Multiplying by 100/15 on both sides to isolate x:

x = 30(100/15) = 2(100) = 200

Therefore, 200 is our answer. I hope this helps! :)

A sum of money amounts to ₹9800 after 5 years and ₹12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. What will be the rate of interest?

[Irrelevant answers will be reported]​

Answers

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after deducting SI]

Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125

So Rate = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

Proove that: tanα + cotα = secα. cosecα

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

tan a = [tex]\frac{sina}{cosa}[/tex], cot a = [tex]\frac{cosa}{sina}[/tex]

sec a = [tex]\frac{1}{cosa}[/tex], cosec a = [tex]\frac{1}{sina}[/tex]

Consider the left side

tana + cota

= [tex]\frac{sina}{cosa}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{cosa}{sina}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{sin^2a+cos^2a}{cosasina}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{cosasina}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{cosa}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{sina}[/tex]

If A =30 and B =60. verifiy that 2 sin A cosA =2tanA/1+tan²A​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that A = 30° . Lets find the sin , cos & tan of A

⇒ [tex]\sin A=\sin30 = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\cos A = \cos 30 = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\tan A = \tan 30 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

Lets solve the LHS (Left Hand Side) :-

[tex]2(\sin A \times \cos A) = 2(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

Now lets solve the RHS (Right Hand Side) :-

[tex]\frac{2\tan A}{1+\tan ^{2}A } = \frac{2 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }{1 + (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } )^{2} } = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } \div ( 1 + \frac{1}{3} ) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }\div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } \times\frac{3}{4} =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

∴ LHS = RHS ( Proved )

A bookmark shaped like a rectangle has a total perimeter of38cm the length of the one of its sides is 14 what is the width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters

Answers

Answer:

The Width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters = 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A bookmark shaped like a rectangle has a total perimeter of38cm the length of the one of its sides is 14 what is the width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters

The formula for perimeter fo a rectangle =

P = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

Hence: From the above question:

38cm = 2 × 14 cm + 2 W

38cm = 28cm + 2W

2W = 38cm - 28cm

2W = 10cm

W = 10cm/2

W = 5cm

Hence, the Width of the rectangle(each side of the bookmark in centimeters) = 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When the repeating decimal starts at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be turned into a fraction by putting them over the same number of 9s. That is, 0.61616161... is equivalent to 61/99.

Here, the repeating part is 1/10 that value, so is 61/990. This is added to the non-repeating part, which is 0.3 = 3/10.

Then the entire decimal is ...

  0.361_61 = 3/10 + 61/990 = (297 +61)/990 = 358/990 = 179/495

C The length is 5 inches, and the width is 10 inches.
D The length is 5 inches, and the width is 7 inches.

Answers

Answer: 6 in. x 10 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nash is making a framed enlargement of a Mary Cassatt postage stamp to present to a retired postmaster.

1. The scale of enlargement is 2 inches to 1 centimeter.

2. The actual length of the stamp = 3 centimeters

3. The length of frame =   2 x 3 = 6 inches

4. The actual width of the stamp = 5 centimeters

5. The width of frame =  2 x 5 = 10 inches

Conclusion: Because of this, the dimensions for the scale picture would be 6 by 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

As, this question is incomplete and without data we can not answer this question. But we can make it complete by adding our own values. Let's do it and calculate.

Let's suppose, there are 10 students in the class of Mrs. Brim and she took 5 tests on subsequent days and made chart to know the average time her students took to solve the test.

Total time of test = 30 minutes

Average time taken by the students to solve the test on Day 1 = 25 minutes.

Average time taken by the students to solve the test on Day 2 = 27 minutes.

Average time taken by the students to solve the test on Day 3 = 22 minutes.

Average time taken by the students to solve the test on Day 4  = 23 minutes.

Average time taken by the students to solve the test on Day 5 = 20 minutes.

Average Time in all Tests = Sum of all times / total number of days

Average Time = (25 + 27 + 22 + 23 + 20) / 5 days

Average Time = 117/5

Average Time = 23.4 minutes is the time that Mrs Brim wanted to see.

can someone teach me similar shapes and how i would find volume and area as well as congruency in triangles, thanks

I don't get it at all

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

It's very easy.

If you have two shapes, let's say triangles, the shapes are said to be similar if the corresponding angles are equal. For instance a triangle ABC with angles A = 45, B = 45 and C = 90 if there is another triangle PQR with angles P = 45, Q = 45 and R = 90, we say triangle ABC and triangle PQR are similar because their corresponding angles are equal.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if they are exactly the same in angles and size. All congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.

To find area of similar shapes, we need what we call the scale factor of the enlargement.

If we have two similar shapes where by one is an enlargement of the other. Let's say the enlargement is in ratio 2:1. This ratio 2:1 is what we call scale factor. If we want to find the area of one shape given the area of a similar one to it, we make use of

Area = (scale factor)². For instance if we have two similar triangles, the area of the bigger is 16cm² and the scale factor is 2:1, we can find the area or the smaller by:

(2/1)² = 16/X = 4/1 = 16/X

4x = 16 and x = 4.

To find volume we use:

Volume = (scale factor)³ and the process is the same.
