Answer:
Meanings of the numbers:
Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.
How I would use them in every day life:
I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas
I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.
Hope this helps! (^-^)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
if these are fractions than its A.
2x-4=2
4x-5=5/4
Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
(-12)+(-2)
You solve using Pemdas, doing the (-8/4) first, and then doing (-6)(2)
The answer is the two values added together.
Answer:
Overall vertical is visually better, if done correctly
it forces you to "line up" all the common exponents.
The disadvantage is that it usually requires re-writing the problem, and it takes up space.
most problems are presented horizontally, that becomes the issue to locate the common exponents.
in both cases the biggest issue is people forget
that when subtracting "subtracting a negative is like adding a positive"
-5x - (-8x) = 3x [that is a positive 3x]
or:
-7x
- - 10x
-------------
3x
everyone misses those eventually so you have to watch out for that in both methods
