Answer:
[tex]5.24-8.85=-3.61[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation. We are asked to fill in the blanks for the given equation.
5._4 - (_.8_) = -3.61
We will find each part separately as:
For hundredths digit:
[tex]4-?=-1[/tex]
[tex]4-4-?=-1-4[/tex]
[tex]-?=-5[/tex]
[tex]?=5[/tex]
So hundredths digit would be 5.
Tenth digit:
[tex]?-8=-6[/tex]
[tex]?-8+8=-6+8[/tex]
[tex]?=2[/tex]
Ones digit:
[tex]5-?=-3[/tex]
[tex]5-5-?=-3-5[/tex]
[tex]-?=-8[/tex]
[tex]?=8[/tex]
Substitute the values in given equation.
5.24 - (8.85) = -3.61
We can verify our answer by subtracting 8.85 from 5.24.
[tex]5.24-8.85=-3.61[/tex]
Therefore, our equation would be [tex]5.24-8.85=-3.61[/tex].
