Why is 3+(-5) equal to -2

Here's an example: 3/5 divided by 7/8.

   3/5

  _____

   7/8

Let's do it WRONG, to see why that's bad. Here's our example, multiplied by something that ISN'T equal to one:

   3/5      1       3/5      3/5

  _____ * _____ = _______ = ______ = 3/5

   7/8     8/7     56/56      1

Multiplying 7/8 by 8/7 turns our denominator into 1, which seems helpful. But it leaves us with the same numerator we started with. Can this be right? Is 3/5 divided by 7/8 equal to 3/5 divided by one, so that 7/8 = 1? Oops, that has to be wrong.

For comparison, here's the RIGHT way:

   3/5     8/7     24/35     24/35

  _____ * _____ = _______ = _______ = 24/35

   7/8     8/7     56/56       1

In this case, what we multiplied by, 8/7 divided by 8/7, is equal to one, because anything divided by itself is equal to one. But 1 over 8/7, which we used up above in the first example, is NOT equal to one, which means that if we use 1 over 8/7, we change our question. We may get an answer, but it won't be the right one.

Find the equation for the line that passes through (4, - 8) that has slope - 2. Give your answer in
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

y+8=-2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point.

We are given all of that information:

slope: -2

point: (4,-8)

substitute the numbers into the equation

y--8=-2(x-4)

we can make --8 to positive 8

so:

y+8=-2(x-4)

this is the equation in point-slope form

Hope this helps!

Kelsey bought a circular rug that is 10 feet in diameter. The rug has a blue border and a red circular center that is 8 feet in
Soloha48 [4]

the blue rug is 2 feet in diameter because you specifically said all together it was 10 and they say the red rug is 8 feet which means you have to do 10-8=2
