The answer is no. Because solution (a,b) means x=a, y=b.and we have a-b=5. And (b,a) would mean x=b and y=a but then x-y=b-a=-(a-b)=-5≠5. So the pair (b,a) is not a solution.
Answer:
Part B shaded below first line and above second line.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first inequality corresponds to the second line (-3 = -4+1, for example) The ≥ symbol in that inequality tells you it will be satisfied by y values above those on the line.
The second inequality corresponds to the first line (-4+3 = -1, for example) The ≤ symbol in that inequality tells you it will be satisfied by y values below those on the line.
Hence the solution set is those values shaded below the first line and above the second line — matching Part B.
Answer:
You should be thinking about a negative number. In fact, you should be thinking about a number that is the opposite of 5! -5! So, the additive inverse of 5 is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box
Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1
So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.
5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16
5/8 + 5/16
Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:
10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16
So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
