Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative of a negative is a positive, so B is your choice.  Think of it anothe way, if it helps.  Imagine that the expression is this:

(-2) + (-1)(-3) since every subtraction problem can be rewritten as an addition problem.

We would first, by orders of operation, multiply the -1 and the -3 getting 3.  Then the problem would simplify down to -2 + 3

Just another idea to ponder...

Determine if triangle OPQ and triangle RST are or are not similar, and, if they are, state which triangle similarity shortcut (A
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

SAS Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔOPQ similar to ΔRST

∠Q  = ∠T

OQ : RT = 28 : 84 = 1 : 3

QP : TS  = 16 : 48 = 1 : 3

The measures of two sides of ΔOPQ are proportional to the measure of two side of ΔRST and their included angles are congruent.  The triangles are similar by SAS Similarity.

A recycling plant processes an average of 1/3
Marat540 [252]
The solution to this problem is to convert 1/3 tons/minute to the number of tons/day.

This is done by multiplying 1/3 tons/minute by 60 minutes/hour and by 24 hours/day.

Looking the units of measure, we see that the minutes will cancel and the hours will cancel; and we will be left with tons/day.  To determine how many, multiply (1/3) x 60 x 24.  I will leave the calculation to you, but you should get 480.

The store clerk has 21 mugs to display on shelves.She wants to display an equal number of mugs on each shelf with no mugs left o
kramer

The concept to do this question is to break the number into its factors and then make different combination.

The given number has just two factors

The factors of 21 are 3 & 7.

Which means

21 = 3 × 7.

So

Either we can have 7 shelves with 3 mugs on each shelf.

Or

We can have 3 shelves with 7 mugs on each shelf.

This way as 21 is divisible by 3 & 7. No mugs shall be left out.

So We have two solutions to this.

7 shelves with 3 mugs on each shelf.

3 shelves with 7 mugs on each shelf.
