If x and y are both negative when is x-y positive

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
7 0
X-y is positive when y is further away from 0, compared to x. In other words, when y is a larger negative

For example
x = -2
y = -5

x-y = -2-(-5) = -2+5 = 3

How would you simplify this -5x+2x+7y-3x
forsale [732]
In these types of problems, the first step is to combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same exponent (power), and the same variable (like all x's). In the above equation, we can combine -5x, 2x and -3y. Let's do it:
-5x+2x+7y-3y = -6x+7y

The next step would be to factor out the common ratio, which is not applicable here, so your answer would be -6x + 7y. Hope this helps!

ANSWER:

We have to find new side-lengths of PQR triangle.

Original sides are.

\begin{gathered} PQ\text{ = 8cm} \\ QR=17\operatorname{cm} \\ RP=15\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

After multiplying by 2.5 we get

\begin{gathered} PQ^{\prime}=2.5\times PQ=(8\times2.5)cm=20\operatorname{cm} \\ QR^{\prime}=(17\times2.5)cm=42.5\operatorname{cm} \\ RP^{\prime}=(15\times2.5)cm=37.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

These are the new sides of the P'Q'R' triangle.

Cameron is older than Hassan. Their ages are consecutive integers. Find Cameron's
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

So consecutive integers, just means they're separated by a value of 1. This can be generally expressed as "a, a+1" where these two values would be consecutive integers assuming "a" is an integer.

So let's express Hassan's age as the variable "x", since it's unknown. Since Cameron is older, and by definition of a consecutive integer, Cameron's can be expressed as "x+1"

So the equation we need to set up is Cameron's age + 5(Hassan's age) = 145

So we can substitute the variables we defined to express Cameron and Hassan's age: (x+1) + 5(x) = 145

Distribute the 5: x+1+5x

Add like terms: 6x+1 = 145

Subtract 1 from both sides: 6x=144

Divide both sides by 6: x=24

Since we used "x" to represent Hassan's age, Hassan's age is 24. Since we used "x+1" to represent Cameron's age, Cameron's age is "24+1" which is just 25
