B) the additive inverse of -3 is +3, so 17-(-3) = 20 is your answer.

Remember, two negatives = one positive, and so:

- (-3) = 3

17 + 3 = 20

Therefore, B is your answer

hope this helps

If x and y are different numbers from 1-50 what is the greatest possible value for (x+y)/(x-y)
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (x+y)/(x-y) for greatest possible value with the following constraints:

x ≠ y

1 ≤ x ≤ 50

1 ≤ y ≤ 50

To achieve greatest possible value:

Numerator should be as large as possible.

Denominator should be as small as possible without being negative.

x = 50

y = 49

= (50 + 49)/(50 - 49)

= 99/1 = 99

A rectangular yard is X feet wide. The yard is 4 feet longer than it is wide. The perimeter P of yard is given by the equation P
vladimir2022 [97]

Given:

Width of the rectangular yard = x feet

Length of the rectangular yard = x+4 feet

Perimeter of the rectangular yard is:

P=4x+8

Perimeter of the yard = 84 feet

To find:

The length of the rectangular yard.

Solution:

Perimeter of the yard is 84 feet.

4x+8=84

4x=84-8

4x=76

Divide both sides by 4.

x=\dfrac{76}{4}

x=19

So, the width of the rectangular yard is 19 feet.

Length = 19+4

Length = 23

The length of the rectangular field is 23 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
