Answer:
Allan can order them from least to greatest.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.
We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.
Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.
Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.
I hope this helps!
It seems most likely that ...
... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction
_____
In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.
The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
