Answer:

a. a is bigger than -a

b. a is equal to -a

c. a is less than -a

Step-by-step explanation:

If a > 0, 2 > -2

Let's say a = -1

If a < 0, -1 ? -(-1)

Answer:

J = [12] +A
J + A = [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

If Anna's age is represented by A, then 12 more than Anna's age will be ...

12 + A

Jason's age is said to be 12 more than Anna's age, so ...

(12 +A) +A = 50

2A = 38 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

A = 19 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

J = 12 +19 = 31 . . . find Jason's age
