Rewrite 5 − 6 using the additive inverse
5+6
5+(-6)
5-(-6)
6-5
5 + (-6)
Simplify: Negative four and one-fifth minus negative thirteen and one-tenth
-4 1/5 - (-13 1/10)
To simplify this expression, we'll combine the two fractions and subtract the whole numbers separately.
-4 - (-13) = -4 + 13 = 9
Now let's simplify the fraction part:
1/5 - 1/10 = (2/10) - (1/10) = 1/10
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:
9 1/10
Simplify: -4 1/5-(-13 1/10)
To simplify this expression, first let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
-4 1/5 = -21/5
-(-13 1/10) = 13 1/10 = 131/10
Now we can subtract the two fractions:
-21/5 - 131/10
To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. Now we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
-21/5 * 2/2 = -42/10
131/10
Now let's subtract the fractions:
-42/10 - 131/10 = -173/10
Therefore, the simplified expression is -173/10.
Allen is showing his work in simplifying -8.3 + 9.2 - 4.4 + 3.7. In which step did he make a mistake?
Step Work Reasoning
−8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7 Original problem
1 −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
2 −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
3 −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
4 −8.3 + 17.3 Simplify
5 9 Simplify
In step 2, Allen made a mistake in applying the commutative property. The correct step should be:
Step 2: -8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7
The order of the numbers should not have been rearranged.
you liar i got a 15/25
I apologize if my response was not accurate. Could you please clarify the actual question and options?
To rewrite 5 - 6 using the additive inverse, we can replace the subtraction sign with addition and change the sign of the number being subtracted. The additive inverse of 6 is -6. Therefore, the expression 5 - 6 can be rewritten as:
5 + (-6)
