why can you write a subtraction problem as an addition problem? How do you write a subtraction problem as an addition problem?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: To write a subtraction problem as an addition problem, just switch the numbers a little. For example:

11 - 5 = ?

Just write it like this:

5 + ? = 11

These two problems will get the same answer. Watch:

11 - 5 = 6

5 + 6 = 11

Both of these work because all three numbers ( two main ones and the answer) Can be switched around in different orders depending on the operation.

Hope this helps, WyattMarine501

Complete the standard form of the equation –4y = 3 – 2x.

Answers

Ax + By = is the standard form. Try to see how - 4y = 3 - 2x can fit into Ax + By = C.

Add 2x on both sides to make the x variable present on the other side of the equation.
Now we get
2x - 4y = 3.

A is 2 since that is the number which precedes x.
B is -4 since that is the number which precedes y.
C is 3.
So - 4y = 3 - 2x in standard form would be 2x - 4y = 3.

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (−1, −4) and has a slope of –3 ?

Answers

Answer:

y + 4 = -3(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form : y - y2 = m (x - x2)

In this case m = -3 and x2 = -1, y2 = -4

So

The equation in point-slope form

y + 4 = -3(x + 1)

8x+15=3x-20 please explain how to solve this

Answers

8x + 15 = 3x - 20

First, take away '3x' from both sides.
8x + 15 - 3x = -20
Second, subtract '8x - 3x' to get '5x'.
5x + 15 = -20
Third, take away '15' from both sides.
5x = -20 - 15
Fourth, add '-20 - 15' to get '-35'.
5x = -35
Fifth, divide both sides by '5'.
x =  (35)/(5)
Sixth, how many times does 5 go into 35? 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
x = -7

Answer: x = -7


You said                                    8x + 15  =  3x - 20

Subtract  3x  from each side:    5x + 15  =      - 20

Subtract  15  from each side:    5x          =     - 35

Divide each side by  5 :               x         =     -  7
