CHECK OUT ATTACHMENT they're both equal right? both are 100 so the answer is B.?

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

180-55-45 != 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know! so it's p = q ?

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

@ChinaGurl For your reference, the symbol != means not equal to. I was saying that 180-55-45 is NOT equal to 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be the difference if both are equal ? @tyteen4a03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh....wait!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

180-55-45 = 80 180 - 80 - 20 = 80 They are both equal, they just don't equal 100 :-)

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

My point is that you calculated q wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see what your saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it'll be p > q ?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

No, they are both equal. p = 80, q = 80.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p = q ?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Therefore, p = q is the right answer. We're just quibbling because you said "they are both 100"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol thanks

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

the complements of p and q are both 100. Just say you meant to say that ;-)
