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

Mathematics

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!

The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?
ch4aika [34]

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.

On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 5x+8

On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 3x+10

So, the equation we want to solve is

5x+8 = 3x+10

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x+8 = 10

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2x=2

Divide both sides by 2:

x=1

Identify the decimals labeled with the letters A, B, and C on the scale below. Letter A represents the decimal Letter B represen
Yuliya22 [10]

10 divisions between $389$ and $390$ so each division is $\frac{390-389}{10}=0.1$

A is 8 division from $389$, so, A is $389+8\times 0.1=389.8$

similarly, C is one division behind $389$ so it is $389-1\times 0.1=388.9$

and B is $390.3$

Choose any positive integer. Powers of two here are not very interesting, so choose something else. If the number you have chose
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)

For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3.  Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16.  Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.

The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.

Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.

Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.
