Answer:

real , rational and integer

Step-by-step explanation:

it is an integer because all the negative numbers and positive numbers belong to the group integers

it is a rational number because  rational numbers are divided into 3 groups which are natural numbers , whole numbers, and integers

it is a real number because real numbers are divided into two rational and irrational numbers

                                      number system

real numbers                                                              imaginory numbers

rational numbers        irrational numbers

whole numbers ,natural numbers, integers

                    What number groups does -2 belong in?

\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}\diamond

First, let's take a look at some number groups.

      The first one is:-

          ❖ Natural numbers. This set consists of positive numbers only.

       ◈ <u>Example:-</u> 4, 6, 12, 436... any positive number is included in the "Natural numbers" set.

The next set is:-

      ❖ Whole numbers. This set includes all natural numbers plus zero.

Negative numbers are still not included.

The next set is:-

 

   ❖ Integers. This set includes all whole numbers plus negative numbers. Fractions are not included in this set.

The next set does include fractions, and it's called

    ❖ Rational numbers. This set consists of integers and, as I mentioned before, fractions.

Another number set is as follows:-

   ❖ Irrational numbers. This set includes numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions, like \bold{\sqrt{2}}, or you may have heard of \pi, which is also irrational, meaning that we cannot express π as a fraction, because it has an infinite number of digits after the decimal point.

Finally, the set that includes all numbers (or <em>almost all) </em> is called:-

    ❖ Real numbers. This set includes rational, irrational numbers, integers... almost everything.

There's another set of numbers:-

   ❖ Imaginary numbers. This set consists of numbers that were imagined. Such numbers come in handy when it comes to solving some equations, like \bold{x^2=-1}. They are also called "complex numbers".

Now that we know all the sets of numbers, let's answer this question:-

\textsf{ What number groups does -2 belong in?}

First, it's negative, so it's not a whole number or a natural one.

It is an integer, because negative numbers are included in the "integers" set.

It can be expressed as a fraction, which is as follows:-

❖ \bold{-\dfrac{2}{1}}

So we conclude that -2 is:-

  • an integer ✓
  • a rational number ✓
  • a real number  ✓

In a different dimension, cows have $x+3$ legs, with 3 toes on each leg. Chickens have $2x-4$ legs, with 7 toes on each leg. If
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

20x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Cows have x+3 legs and 3 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes of ONE cow we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:

3(x+3) \quad (1)

But we have two cows so (1) we have to multiply it by 2 giving a total of:

2(3(x+3))\\6(x+3)\\6x+18 \quad (2)

By the other hand chickens have 2x-4 legs and 7 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:

7(2x-4)\\14x-28 \quad (3)

To find the total amount of toes we have to add (2) and (3)

(6x+18)+(14x-28)\\20x-10

the Alvarez family bought a car for $2,000 they made a down payment of $500 if they want to pay the balance in 5 equal payments
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Actual cost of the car bought by Alvarez family = $2000
Amount of down payment made by the Alvarez family = $500
Outstanding amount
that has to be paid by the Alvarez family = (2000 - 500) dollars
                                                                  = 1500 dollars
Number of equal payments to pay the outstanding balance = 5
So
Payment that has to be made
by the Alvarez family in 5 equal parts = 1500/5 dollars
                                                             = 300 dollars
So the Alvarez family has to make 5 payments of $500 to complete the outstanding amount of the car. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
