ANSER: Yes

EXPLANATION: The is one way for you to make a negative number greater than a positive number and that is by using absolute value. Absolute value is when you take the number and define the absolute value. So -4 would be just 4. In a regular equation -5 < 4 but using absolute value -5 becomes 5. Therefore there is one way for a negative number to be posotive.

ANSWER: No.

Explanation: It is impossible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number. All negatives are behind zero, therefore less than zero, on the number line, while all the positives are ahead of zero, meaning they're greater than zero. In conclusion, a negative number is ALWAYS less than a positive number.

Kamila buys a notebook for $1.59 and pens for $0.29 each. She spends $5.07.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

12 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable that can be used to determine the number of pens that Kamila bought be represented by n.

Price of a notebook = $1.59

Price a pen = $0.29

Total amount spent = $5.07

But,

1.59 + 0.29 n = 5.07

So that,

0.29 n = 5.07 - 1.59

0.29 n = 3.48

n = $\frac{3.48}{0.29}$

= 12

Therefore, Kamila bought 12 pens.

Do you guys mind helping ?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

m = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) expand: 2/9m-16/9=2/3m+4/3

2) add 16/9 to both sides:

2/9m-16/9+16/9=2/3m+4/3+16/9

3) simplify: 2/9m=28/9+2/3m

4) subtract 2/3 m from both sides:

2/9m-2/3m= 28/9+2/3m-2/3m

5) simplify: -4/9m=28/9

6) m=-7

A line with a slope of 9 passes through the points (-7,-10) and (-6,g).What is the value of g?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

g = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Slope, m = 9

Points = (-7, -10) and (-6, g)

X-axis = x1, x2 = (-7, -6)

Y-axis = (y1, y2) = (-10, g)

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

$Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}$

$Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

9 = (g - (-10))/(-6 - (-7)

9 = (g + 10)/(-6 + 7)

9 = (g + 10)/1

Cross-multiplying, we have;

9 = g + 10

g = 9 - 10

g = -1
