Change 1 to a fraction and subtract the numerators. EXAMPLE: 1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
quotient means to divide, so the quotient of 2 is to divide by 2. difference means to subtract, so subtract by 5
1. Subtract 2x from each side: x + 2 = -52. Subtract 2 from each side: x = -7The above method is correct, however I find it simplier to write out each step separately rather than subtracting 2x from each side automatically.3x +2 =2x-5. Subtract 2x from the right and it must be subtracted from the left.3x-2x+2=-5 Subtract the 2x from the left.x+2 = -5 Subtract 2 from the left and it must also be subtracted from the right.x = -5-2 Subtract it.x =-7
-32915 is what you get when you subtract 825 from 33740.
3-(-2)=5
