Assume a * b means a + b – 1. What is 5 * 3? 7 8 9 10 none of these

Hey there!

If a*b=a+b-1, then 5*3 would be 5+3-1, or 7.

Hope this helps :)

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
