No
lets say a and b are positive numbers
that means -a and -b are negative
if you make the difference between these to it'd be
-a-(-b) which means -a+b, and if b>a then the difference is positive

Translate into an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. I have a total of 10 gigabytes of data on my computer, xgigabyt
pogonyaev

Answer:

(20-3x)/2 GB

Explanation:

Total amount of data on my computer = 10GB

Total amount of data occupied by movies = x GB

If pictures take up half the amount of space that movies do, then;

Total amount of data occupied by pictures = 1/2 of space occupied by movies = 1/2 x

If the remaining are music, the amount of space occupied by music will be expressed as shown;

Total space -(space occupied by movies + space occupied by pictures)

= 10 - (x+1/2 x)

Total amount of data occupied by music = 10 - (x+1/2 x) GB

On simplification;

= 10 - (x+1/2 x)

= 10-{(2x+x)/2}

= 10 - {3x/2}

= (20-3x)/2 GB

Hence, amount of gigabytes of music stored on my computer is expressed as (20-3x)/2 GB.
