Answer:
Additive inverse property
Step-by-step explanation:
When you add opposites you get 0.
Another word for opposites is additive inverses.
This is the additive inverse property.
It says when you do -a+a or a+(-a) you get 0 for any number a.
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
Answer: 3(x-3y)
Step-by-step explanation: first you have to take the 3x and split it up so it can make 3(x-3y) then you have to rewrite it to -9 as 3x3 and then factor out common term 3 which would be your final answer 3(x-3y)
