If you're adding positive numbers together, then the order in which you write or group the addends doesn't matter.
If you're "adding" a negative number to a positive number, it's a little easier to visualize this problem if you write the positive number first, followed by the negative number.
But if you're "adding" -15 to 8, it'd make sense to write the -15 first (because its magnitude is greater) and then the 8: -15 + 8 = -7
Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
Answer: y = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2y) + y - 3 = 6
(-y) - 3 = 6
-y = 9
y = -9
Answer:
m∠ABE = 27°
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets look to the figure to solve the problem
- AC is a line
- Ray BF intersects the line AC at B
- Ray BF ⊥ line AC
∴ ∠ABF and ∠CBF are right angles
∴ m∠ABF = m∠CBF = 90°
- Rays BE and BD intersect the line AC at B
∵ m∠ABE = m∠DBE ⇒ have same symbol on the figure
∴ BE is the bisector of angle ABD
∵ m∠EBF = 117°
∵ m∠EBF = m∠ABE + m∠ABF
∵ m∠ABF = 90°
∴ 117° = m∠ABE + 90°
- Subtract 90 from both sides
∴ m∠ABE = 27°
