Hmm

let's try some numbers

we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y

x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y

x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope

x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope


x-y is positive when 0>x>y

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for volume of a cone

V = 1/3 pi r^2 (h)

Amy had 23 blocks she gave 7 blocks to isabela and 5 blocks to alexa here are the choices A. (23-7)+5 and B.23-(7+5) and C. 23-7
Semmy [17]

Answer:

C seems right

Step-by-step

seems more work then needs be but 7+5= 12 and she originally had 23. so the equation of adding the 7+5 would just be adding up the ones removed together then adding the -23 to the equation is how many Amy had to begin with. so it would be <u><em>23-7+5 </em></u>= 12. others dont seem right since when you add () to an equation that means your multiplying and you wouldn't be multiplying here and for D to be right it needs to be switched around or you'd end up with a - number and she wouldn't have a - number of blocks. just divide up a problem if need be and break it down to smaller parts to make it easier to deal with.
