Say there are two integers that are both negative, and you subtract them. would the answer be positive, or remain negative?

1 answer:

7 0

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 to ax+z =aw-y if you are solving for a

inysia [295]

Ax + z = aw - y....subtract aw from both sides
ax - aw + z = -y....subtract z from both sides
ax - aw = -y - z....factor out a on the left side
a(x - w) = -y - z...divide both sides by (x-w)
a = (-y - z) / (x - w)

← How many solutions does this linear system have y = x+2 6x - 4y = -10

defon

Answer:

This linear system has one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation: y = x + 2

Second equation: 6x - 4y = -10

Let's change the second equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

m ... slope

b ... y-intercept

$6x - 4y = -10$

$6x + 10 = 4y$

$\frac{6}{4}x + \frac{10}{4} = y$

$\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{5}{2} = y$

If two lines have the same slope but different y-intercept, they are parallel - system has no solutions.

If two lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept, they are the same line and are intersecting in infinite many points - system has infinite many solutions.

If two lines have different slopes then they intersect in one point - system has one solution.

We see that lines have different slopes. First line has slope 1 and the other line has slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . So the system has one solution.

You can also check this by solving the system.

Substitute y in second equation with y from first.

6x - 4y = -10

6x - 4(x + 2) = -10

Solve for x.

6x - 4x - 8 = -10

2x = -2

x = -1

y = x + 2

y = -1 + 2

y = 1

The lines intersect in point (-1, 1). <-- one solution
