Which statement best explains the value of 16 − (−3)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 16 − (−3) = 19

negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units

Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are the explanation.

Comment on the second question

Note that the second question asks for the distance from -6/8 to -1/8. Ordinarily, the distance from A to B would be computed as B - A. In this set of answer choices, it is computed as |A - B|. In the end, the result is the same.

Personally, I would compute the distance between points on a number line by subtracting the left point from the right point. Here, that would also correspond to B - A.

Comment on choosing 'word' answers

In a set of answers like these, one way to choose answers is simply to eliminate the ones that make a false statement. Often, you are left with only the correct answer choice.

For example, the statement "the additive inverse of -3 is -3" is a false statement, so the first two answer choices can be eliminated. Likewise, the statement 16 -(-3) = 13 is false, so that choice can be eliminated. The one remaining answer is the correct one.

have a good day hope this helped!

What is the product of 2x + y and 5x – y + 3? x2 + xy + x + y2 + y
miskamm [114]

Answer: 10x^2+3xy+6x-y^2+3y

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the Product of powers property:

(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)}

Then, knowing this property, now you have to apply the Distributive property. So:

(2x+y)(5x-y+3)=\\\\=(2x)(5x)-(2x)(y)+(2x)(3)+(y)(5x)-(y)(y)+(y)(3)\\\\=10x^2-2xy+6x+5xy-y^2+3y

Finally, to simplify this expression, you need to add the like terms.

Therefore, you get that the product is:

=10x^2+3xy+6x-y^2+3y
