True or false the difference of two numbers is less than either of those two numbers

1 answer:

5 0

The difference of two numbers is not always less at either of the two numbers. (especially for negative numbers)

Take fo example, 40 - 30 = 10.
Here the difference is less than both two numbers.

But in 40 - 15 = 25
Here the difference is less than one of the numbers but greater than the other number.

Now consider, -3 and -5, their difference is given by (-3) - (-5) = -3 + 5 = 2.
Here, 2 is greater than both -3 and -5.

Therefore, The difference of two numbers is not always less than either of those two numbers.

Your answer is False.

You may or may not need to include the units.

A = 18x - 18

P = 6x + 6

Graph is attached below. (2, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the information we need, "l" and "w", into the formulas.

l is for length, 6cm.

w is for width, (3x - 3)cm.

Use the formula for area of a rectangle.

A = lw

A = (6)(3x-3)cm²

A = (18x - 18)cm² or 18x - 18

Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(6 + (3x - 3))cm

P = 2(3x + 3)cm

P = (6x + 6)cm or 6x + 6

Linear equations are written in the form y = mx + b, so we do not need to factor or further simplify the formulas.

To graph, first turn the "m" value into a fraction form.

8 -> 8/1

6 -> 6/1

You need two points to graph each line.

For each equation, the first point is on the y-axis at the "b" value. Then use the "m" in the equation to count the number of units up (numerator) and to the right (denominator).

The solution is (2,18)

A) 0.8
B) 0.24
C) 0.56
D) 0.44

For A, since 1 in 5 is dry, 4 in 5 are not; 4/5 = 0.8

For B, we know that 30%, 0.3, of the ones that are not dry are contaminated:
0.3(0.8) = 0.24

For C, 100%-30%=70% of wells that are not dry are not contaminated; 0.7(0.8) = 0.56

For D, she will either have contaminated water or no water:
0.24+0.2 = 0.44
