Hello there! Using the rules of addition, we can identify that when adding a positive to a negative number, the result shifts toward the positive side but takes the sign of the greater number. It will be demonstrated in this problem to simplify how problems like this are solved:

Step 1: Rewrite the problem

-14 + 7 = ?

Step 2: Since we’re adding 7 to a negative number, that means the negative number decreases by the quantity it’s being added by.

This means we would have to really subtract 7 from 14 to get 7.

Step 3: Keep the sign of the greater number

Since 14 is greater than 7, we will keep the negative sign in accordance.

Step 4: Simplify

-14 + 7 = -7

Using the rules of addition, we will find that -14 + 7 = -7. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Answer:

- 7

Step-by-step explanation:

note that

+ (- ) = - ( adding a negative is equivalent to subtraction )

- (- ) = + ( subtracting a negative is equivalent to addition )

then

7 + (- 14) = 7 - 14 = - 7

She/he could use 2 12x3 in of wood and 1 4x2 so now we will take all of the numbers and see what we get when we calculat them so when we take the 2 12x3 we will get 72 and then we will add 72 to 4x2 after we multiply them so when we multiply the 4x2 we will get 8 and now will we add 72 to the 8 and we will get a 80 for your answer hope that is the right answer if it is not sorry

Consider the inequality -20.2 > 0y. Which of the following must be true? Check all that apply. You cannot divide by zero. The

Katarina [22]

Answer:

You can not divide by zero.

The inequality is equivalent to - 20.2 > 0 which is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can not divide both sides by zero, because if we divide both sides by zero, then the inequality becomes

$- \frac{20.2}{0} > y$

⇒ - ∞ > y, which is not possible.

Again, the given inequality is - 20.2 > 0 × y.

We have to multiply y with zero and a product of zero with any term is also zero.

Hence, the inequality becomes - 20.2 > 0.

Therefore, the inequality is equivalent to - 20.2 > 0 which is false. (Answer)

amid [387]

Answer:

x=-1-5√17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

logo((x-2)(x+2))=2

logo(x²+3x-2x-6)=2

x²+3x-2x-6=10²

x²+x-6=100

x²+x-106=0

x=-1+5√17/2
