when you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater or less than the integer you started with

1 answer:

6 0

Lets find out...

-5 - (-2) = -5 + 2 = -3....-3 is greater then -5
-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2.....2 is greater then -1
-4 - (-2) = -4 + 2 = -2...-2 is greater then -4

so it looks like it is going to be greater then the number u started with.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2-16=0

maks197457 [2]

Good evening.

This is a incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 = 0}$

Add 16 to both sides:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16}\\ \\ \mathsf{x^2 = 16}$

Take the square root:

$\mathsf{\sqrt {x^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\boxed{\mathsf{x = \pm4} }}$

Therefore:

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{S=\{-4, \ +4\}}}}$
