It depends upon the numbers...If both are negative numbers, then you change the value of the second number and add them. For example:
(-3) - (-6) = (-3) + 6 = 3.

(-7) - (-4) = (-7) + 4  = -3

So, it depends on the second numbers sign.

I hope this answer helped you :)

What is the answer?????
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2 sides are 4 less than x, that is x - 4

The perimeter is the sum of all 3 sides, thus

x + x - 4 + x - 4 = 19, that is

3x - 8 = 19 ( add 8 to both sides )

3x = 27 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 9

Una bacteria se divide en dos cada 6 minutos Si a las 12:15 horas se coloca una bacteria en un recipiente¿ A que hora habrá 128
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A las 12:57 horas habrá 128 bacterias en el recipiente.

Step-by-step explanation:

Una función exponencial es aquella en que la variable independiente x aparece en el exponente y tiene de base una constante a. Su expresión es:

f(x)= aˣ

Siendo a un real positivo, a > 0, y diferente de 1.

Cuando 0 < a < 1, entonces la función exponencial es una función decreciente y cuando a > 1, es una función creciente.

Algunos tipos de bacterias se reproducen por "mitosis", dividiéndose la célula en dos cada espacios de tiempo pequeños, como sucede en este caso. Entonces, "a" tendrá un valor de 2, que es la cantidad en la que se divide la bacteria, y "x" será los intervalos de tiempo. Si hay 128 bacterias en el recipiente, la expresión exponencial del crecimiento de la bacteria en x intervalo de tiempo será:

2ˣ= 128

Una manera de resolver la x es aplicando logaritmos. Entonces, aplicando el logaritmo común de ambos lados. (Cuando la base no está escrita, se trata de la base 10):

log (2ˣ) = log (128)

Aplicando la propiedad de la potencia de los logaritmos:

x* log (2)= log (128)

x= log (128) ÷ log (2)

x= 7

Cada intervalo de tiempo tiene 6 minutos, que es el tiempo en que una bacteria se divide en 2. Entonces, el tiempo que se tarda en obtener 128 bacterias se calcula como:

7 intervalo* 6 minutos= 42 minutos

Si a las 12:15 horas se coloca una bacteria en un recipiente, entonces el horario a la que habrá 128 bacterias se calcula como:

12:15 + 42 minutos= 12:57

<u><em> A las 12:57 horas habrá 128 bacterias en el recipiente.</em></u>

Jot a set of objects where you can find a fractional part of the group using the total numbers of objects and by using subgroups
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
We divide the total set into several sub-sets (subgroups) that contain the exact same number of members. This way we know the number of total members by adding the number of total subsets.

I keep getting 13. It's supposed to be 3. Can you show me how it's done? 3(a-5) = -6
zalisa [80]
First, divide both sides by 3. I think your mistake was that you were multiplying -3. Please note that in order to cancel something out you need to do the reverse operation. The reverse operation of subtraction is addition and the reverse of multiplication is division.

3(a - 5) = -6
a - 5 = -2

Now add 5 to both sides

a - 5 = -2
   +5    +5
a = 3

Hope this helps!
