Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Chapter 7.1, Problem 98E
Students have asked these similar questions
what is 51-22 when they are both in base six?
Why was base 10 established in mathematics?
We usually write numbers in decimal form (or base 10), meaning numbers are composed using 10 different “digits" {0, 1, ... , 9}. Sometimes though it is useful to write numbers hexadecimal or base 16. Now there are 16 distinct digits that can be used to form numbers: {0, 1, ...,9, A, B, C, D, E, F}. So for example, a 3 digit hexadecimal number might be 2B8. Assume that digits and letter can be repeated. a. How many 6-digit hexadecimals are there in which the first digit is E or F? b. How many 3-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)? c. How many 4-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) or end with a numeral (0-9) (or both)?
