Answer choice B is positive. Subtracting a negative number is a double negative, or a positive. An example of this is 5-(-3)=5+3=8. Choice A is wrong, because -3-5=-8, and subtracting any positive number from a negative number will wield a negative number. Choice C is wrong because 5+(-3)=5-3=2, which is not always negative as seen here (although if the absolute value of -a is greater than b, it WILL be negative). Hope this helped!

All the angles are measured in degrees, show that the triangle is isosceles.
mezya [45]
The angles in a triangle add up to 180, so its
5x+2+6x-10+4x+8=100, then you combine it, so its 
15x=180, then divide 180 by 15, and you get 12. 
Then insert that into each equation.
4(12)+8= 56
5(12)+2= 62
6(12)-10= 62
They all add up to 180 and two of the angles have the same measure, which makes it an isosceles triangle.

You multiply the fractions like this:

Then you reduce it.

1/45

So 1/45 of the athlete's annual income is payed to the assistant. <span />
