a) –a + b is negative

b) a – b is positive

c) b-a is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Suppose a and b are real numbers where a > 0 and b < 0.

a. Is –a + b positive or negative. Explain how you know.

We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5

Putting values:

–a + b

= -(6)+(-5) = -6-5 = -11

So, –a + b is negative

b. Is a – b positive or negative? Explain how you know.

We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5

Putting values:

a - b

=6-(-5) = 6+5 = 11

So, a – b is positive

c. Is b – a positive or negative. Explain how you know

We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5

Putting values:

b-a

=(-5)-(6)

= -5-6

= -11

So, b-a is negative

Use distribute property and simplify<br> Help me please​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

104

155

180

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way is to solve what is in the parenthesis then multiply by the outside number

but if you need to use the distributive property:

1. 4 x (20 - -6)

(4 x 20) - (4 x -6) = 80 - -24 = 80 + 24 = 104

2. -5 x (24 - -7)

(-5 x 24) - (-5 x -7) = -120 - 35 = 155

3. 12 x (-30 + 45)

(12 x -30) + (12 x 45) = -360 + 540 = 180
