a) –a + b is negative
b) a – b is positive
c) b-a is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Suppose a and b are real numbers where a > 0 and b < 0.
a. Is –a + b positive or negative. Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
–a + b
= -(6)+(-5) = -6-5 = -11
So, –a + b is negative
b. Is a – b positive or negative? Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
a - b
=6-(-5) = 6+5 = 11
So, a – b is positive
c. Is b – a positive or negative. Explain how you know
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
b-a
=(-5)-(6)
= -5-6
= -11
So, b-a is negative

like terms include terms that you can add/sub/mult/div - certain terms..
for example 23 and 7 are like terms, 4x and 56x are like terms....
here-> 12 and 3 are like terms so you can put them together:
12 + 3 - 4x
then you can simplify it:
15 - 4x is your answer (most simplified)
Central angle is 130
Semi circle is BED and BCD
Major arc is CEB
Measure BAC is 130
BEC is 230
I=p*r*t
The answer is 1131.20
