Algebra.Com's Answer #608621 by solver91311(24713) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Depends on what you mean by a \"good\" addition sentence. What is it about a good addition sentence that differentiates it from an addition sentence that is poor or mediocre, or perhaps even outstanding? Would you reject a truly magnificent addition sentence because your assignment asks for one that is merely good?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "While we are on the subject, do you still differentiate between addition and subtraction as two different operations? If you do, I suggest that you change your perspective to the following: There are only three arithmetic operations -- addition, multiplication, and raising to a power. What, in your former elementary school life, you called subtraction is addition of a negative number, and what you previously called division is multiplication by the reciprocal. Algebra will make better sense in the long run this way.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you need an addition sentence. Something, presumably the $15 you earned for your allowance, plus something else, needs to be equal to the $20 you owe Mom. Now what can that 'something else' be?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
