Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of the number is to flip the number (if it is a fraction, make it a whole number, if a whole number, make it a fraction under 1. If it is already a fraction, flip it so that the numerator is in the denominator, and vice versa.).

In this case, you are trying to find the reciprocal of -5. By the definition of reciprocal, your answer would be- 1/5

the length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The area of the rectangle is 70m2. Find the dimensions of the r
Elina [12.6K]
If the width = x m then the length =  2x - 4 m

Area =  x(2x - 4) = 70

2x^2 - 4x - 70 = 0

2x^2 - 14x + 10x - 70 = 0

2x(x - 7) + 10(x - 7) = 0

(2x + 10)(x - 7) = 0
x = 7 or -5  ( ignore negative)
width = 7 m and length = 10 m  answer

Kitty [74]
Subtracting a negative number is like removing debt. When you remove debt, you effectively gave someone money and the value of their bank account increased.

Another answer is that “subtraction is addition of the opposite,” so subtracting a negative number is really adding a positive number, which again causes the other number to increase.
