Fran solved the equation 42 = x + 23. although her final answer was correct, she could have found it in a simpler way. which sentence best explains why?

She could have just done 42-23 = x and solved the equation in one step because if 23 and x add up to 42, then subtracting one from 42 will result in the other. This means both equations are equivalent, but 42-23 is faster and simpler.

a. -0.3 > -0.33

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
