Answer:
-52, and the opposite of this is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).
The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.
A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.

Hope this helped!
X^2 + y^2 - x^2 +y^2
That would be (1x+1y)-(1x+1y)
Answer:
7x^(2)-3x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x^(2) - 3x - 2) - (-2x^(2) - +10)
(5x^(2))- (-2x^(2))=7x^(2)
(- 2)-(+10)=+8
7x^(2)-3x+8
Answer:
3x -2y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is ...
ax +by = c
where the leading coefficient (a, or b if a=0) is positive and a, b, c are mutually prime.
Multiplying the equation by 2 gives ...
2y = 3x +5
We can subtract 2y+5 to get standard form:
3x -2y = -5
