801 ¡ñ 30 + 4 ¡ñ 30

65 ¡ñ 20 ¨C 5 ¡ñ 20

Answer 1

for the first one I assume they want you to factor out ¡ñ 30 and add 801+4

for the second, I assume they want you to first factor out ¡ñ 20 then do the combination--not 100% sure.

Answer 2

a) 801 ¡ñ 30 + 4 ¡ñ 30

b) 65 ¡ñ 20 ¨C 5 ¡ñ 20


Just a dark circle in between each number
