Answer:

The expression that is greater is a (b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c

so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers  is a positive number.</u>

Therefore, a (b - c) > 0

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0

so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>

<u>Therefore  a (c - b) < 0</u>

Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)

The length of a rectangle is (x+3) inches long,and the width is 3⅖ inches.If the area is 15 3/10 square inches,write an equation
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(x + 3) = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation to find the length of the rectangle

Mathematically;

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

15 3/10 = (x + 3) * 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 15 3/10 divided by 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 153/10 * 5/17

(x + 3) = 9/2

kenny6666 [7]

Find the LCM (least common multiple) of the denominators, and use that as the denominator for the two fractions.

Ex.

\frac{3}{4} +\frac{2}{3}

LCM (3, 4) is 12

\frac{9}{12} +\frac{8}{12}

=\frac{17}{12}
