Using the Multiplication Property of -1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
7 0

A. -(a+5)

Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:

-(a+5) * -1 = a+5


B. -(-x+31)

Apply the distributive property:

-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)

multiply that by -1 to get -x+31


C. -(4x+12)

Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:

-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12

If a < 0 and c > b, circle the expression that is greater:
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The expression that is greater is a (b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c

so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers  is a positive number.</u>

Therefore, a (b - c) > 0

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0

so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>

<u>Therefore  a (c - b) < 0</u>

Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)
