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!

3 times what equal 19?
MissTica

Answer:

6 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times what equals 19 can be in the form of an equation as shown below. It shows that the value we are finding for is unknown, therefore it is a variable. A variable is the unknown value in an equation.

Equation: 3x = 19

With the equation in hand, we can now solve the problem easily.

3x = 19

Carry the 3 to the 19(Carry over the like terms across leaving the variable or the unknown)

x = 19÷3

x = 6.33333 or 6 1/3

To check if the answer was correct:

3 × 6 1/3 = 19

You regain the answer <em>19</em>

Wendy wants to put a wallpaper border around her bedroom. The room has two walls that each measure 10 feet 5
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

11 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has two sides both measuring 10 feet 5 inches. This gives a total of 20 feet 10 inches. It also has the other two sides both measuring 6 feet 1 inch and that too gives a total of 12 feet 2 inches. Adding them all together results in 32 feet 12 inches. Better still, the perimeter of the room is derived as;

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

Perimeter = 2 (10'5" + 6'1")

Perimeter = 2(16'6")

Perimeter = 32'12"

Having in mind our conversion rate of 12 inches equals 1 foot, the results can be properly expressed as 32 feet plus 1 foot which gives us 33 feet.

If the perimeter of Wendy's room is now given as 33 feet, the conversion rate between feet and yards can now be applied. Having been given that

3 feet = 1 yard

Then 1 yard = 3 feet/3, that is

y = 3/3

Hence,

y = 33/3

y = 11

The results show that Wendy would needs to buy a total of 11 yards of wallpaper border.
