What is the sum of 52 and its additive inverse?

1 answer:

5 0

Hello there!

The additive inverse of any number just means to flip it's value.

For example;

The number "3" would have an additive inverse of "-3".
The number "-15" would have an additive inverse of "15".

Since we have "52", we can flip the value sign of it.
We now have -52 and 52.

Since the question asked us to sum our numbers, we need to add them.

-52 + 52 = 0

The sum of 52 and its additive inverse is 0.

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

You can express this as a system of equations:

x in this instance will be her present age.

x + 8 = 2x + 3

simply solve for x after this by subtracting three and x from both sides, and you’ll find that x is 5.

Distribute each term in one parenthesis to the other terms in the other parenthesis.

(x - 2) (2x + 3)

First, distribute x. When distributing, multiply

x(2x) = 2x²

x(3) = 3x

Next, distribute the other term, -2. Remember to change the signs.

-2(2x) = -4x

-2(3) = -6

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2x² + 3x - 4x - 6

Combine like terms

3x - 4x = -x

2x² - x - 6

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2x² - x - 6 is your answer

hope this helps
