For this case we must simplify the following expression:
We eliminate the parentheses taking into account that:
So, we have:
We add similar terms taking into account that:
Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
Answer:
I think it’s this but I’m not sure
You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.
The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8
Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2
The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2
-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2
So there's 5 body types each with 4 colors. 5x4 is 20. For each of these 20 cars there is 3 kinds of upholstery. 20x3 is 60. Therefore, the dealer would need a minimum of 60 cars to show his complete line. Hope this helped!
