Answer:
“two negatives = positive” rule works for multiplication and division.
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 + (-3) example
imagine a number line with 0 in the center. From (0) You move left 5 places to (-5) on the number line. Now you move another 3 more to the left (-3) and land on (-8).
You are combining the negatives. I hope this helps.
Answer:
3 > -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 <u>0</u> 1 2 3 ....
-8< 3
Answer:
L/2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the width is half of its length, that means it is 1/2*L, as L is the length. This can be simplified into L/2, which is our answer.
Question # 14
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am less than 20.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 20 i.e. x < 20
I am more than 13.
- So the number 'x' must be greater than 13 i.e. x > 13
I am less than 17.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 17 i.e. x < 17
Finally:
I am 4 more than 12
i.e. 12+4 = 16
Thus, the number is x = 16
Question # 15
Part a)
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am more than 10.
I am less than 20.
I am more than 12.
I am less than 15.
As the numbers left after all the conditions are fulfilled are 13 and 14.
- But the last condition is, of the numbers that left, the number is greater than all the remaining numbers.
So, from the remaining number 13 and 14;
14 > 13
Thus, the number x = 14
Part b)
Drawing the number 14 in the place value:
Chart
Tens Ones
1 4
Factor out -1
-1(x^2+x-6)
Factor the inner trinomial
-1(x+3)(x-2)
Final answer: B
