I was never sure of what the "additive inverse" is.
So, just now, just for you, I went and looked it up.
The additive inverse of any number ' A ' is the number
that you need to ADD to A to get zero. That's all !
So now, let's check out the choices:
a), 6, -(-6)
That second number, -(-6), is the same as +6 .
So the two numbers are the same.
Do you get zero when you add them up ? No.
b). -7, 7
What do you get when you add -7 and 7 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
c). -7, -7
What do you get when you add -7 to -7 ?
You get -14 . That's not zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
d). 7, 7
What do you get when you add 7 to 7 ?
You get 14. That's NOT zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
e). 6, -6
What do you get when you add 6 to -6 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
What do we end up with from the list of choices:
a)., c)., and d). are NOT additive inverses.
b). and e). ARE additive inverses.
The denominator of the second fraction can be factored as (a-2)(2a-7), then it becomes doable. You cancel the (2a-7) factors, and are left with:
Do note that you have erased the fact that a≠0 and a≠7/2, so you should always mention that.
In this item, we are not given with the choices for the ordered pair which could be the solution to the given equation. What can be done is to assume a value for one of the variables and solve for the other. To be able to find one that satisfies let x be equal to zero and substitute to the given equation.
-3(0) - 7y = 37
Simplifying,
-0 - 7y = 37
The value of y from the equation is 37/7. Thus, one of the ordered pairs that satisfies the equation is,
(0, 37/7)
Answer:
<h2>h < 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2h+8) < 60
Expand the terms in the bracket
We have
10h + 40 < 60
Group like terms
10h < 60 - 40
10h < 20
Divide both sides by 10
h < 2
Hope this helps you
