Answer: -6
Step-by-step explanation: -|b-a|
-|-2-4|
-|-6|
-6
Once you get rid of the absolute value bars the negative sign is still outside of them making 6 negative again. Hope this helped! :P
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have 'x' students who like math and 'y' students that like science, we can formulate that:
Half of x likes math and science, and also one third of y likes math and science, so:
(1/2) * x = (1/3) * y
x / y = (1/3) / (1/2)
x / y = (1/3) * 2 = 2/3
So the ratio of the number of students who like math to the number of students who like science is 2/3
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x^2 + 4x + 6) - (-3x - 5x^2 + 4)
The negative sign separating the expressions is just multiplying the rightmost expression by -1.
(2x^2 + 4x + 6) + (3x + 5x^2 - 4)
Now, let's add together terms that share the same variable.
2x^2 + 5x^2 = 7x^2
4x + 3x = 7x
6 + (-4) = 2
Let's combine each of these terms into one expression.
7x^2 + 7x + 2 is the final answer.
