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.
Answer:
Only 10 base units to learn
Step-by-step explanation:
The metric system is a decimal based system developed to be universally acceptable by making use of base units from obtained from nature and the use of prefixes for multiples and submultiples of the base units, decimal ratios, which allows easy representation of quantities, as well as having a coherent structure of base and derived units which are obtained from the base units
During conversion in the metric system, which is decimal based, it is only required to move the decimal point
The prefixes which are used to specify multiples and submultiples are the same through out
The decimal system is based on the powers of ten
The number of base units to learn are 7 including; 1. Meter (m), 2. Kilogram (kg), 3. Second (s), 4. Ampere (A), 5. Kelvin (k), 6. Candela (cd), and 7. mole (mol)
Therefore the metric system has several advantages that include all of the following except; Only 10 base units to learn
Answer: (4,-4)
y=-4, x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x=4y
4x-8y=12
-8y=-4x+12 Now I can substitute -4x for 4y
-8y=4y+12
-2y=y+12
-3y=12
y=-4
-4x=4y
-4x=4(-4)
x=4
