Answer:

A - B = ± 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A + B = 0 → (1)

AB = - 36 → (2)

Subtract B from both sides of (1)

A = - B ← substitute into (2)

- B(B) = - 36 ( multiply both sides by 0 1 )

B² = 36 ( take square root of both sides )

B = ± 6

Substitute into (1)

If B = 6 then A =- 6 and A-B = - 6 - 6 = - 12

If B = - 6 then A = 6 and A - B = 6 - (- 6) = 6 + 6 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 0

A = -B

(-B)B) = -36

-B^2 = -36

B^2 = 36

B = 6, -6

So, A = -6, 6

A - B = -12

A - B = 12

Amanda is a cabinetmaker. She makes cabinets using one of three types of wood: birch, maple, or cherry. She can finish each type

padilas [110]

Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.

Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.

Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.

Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
