Both denominators are 4, so we can add the numerators to place over the common denominator. The numerators are -3 and -3, which add to -6. One way to think of negative numbers is to think of IOUs, which are a way of expressing debt in money. For instance, if you go into a store and buy a $10 item, but only have $3 in your pocket, then you would have to owe the owner $7. This can be represented with -7. If you repeat the process, then you'd have 7+7 = 14 in IOUs total. This would be represented with -14
In short, adding negative numbers is really the same as adding positives, but the final result is negative
So that's why -3+-3 turns into -6. We add the two threes like normal but then make the final result negative. All throughout this process, the denominator stays at 4.
So we end up with -6 over 4 which reduces to -3 over 2. How is this reduction happening? We are simply dividing each piece by the greatest common factor 2.
-6 divided by 2 = -3
4 divided by 2 = 2
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the value of x in this case.
For this, we need to consider that the triangles are similar. Now, we can find it as follows :
So, the value of x is equal to 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.
Suppose we have a positive integer,
x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.
For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0
Answer:
y-2=3(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
so point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
x1 and y1 are your ordered pair: (-5,2)
M is the slope.
All you have to do is plug in the numbers!
