Rewrite 5 − 6 using the additive inverse

Question

5+6
5+(-6)
5-(-6)
6-5

Answer 1

5 + (-6)

Answer 2

Simplify: Negative four and one-fifth minus negative thirteen and one-tenth

Answer 3

-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

Answer 4

Simplify: -4 1/5-(-13 1/10)

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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.
