Step-by-step explanation:

Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.

Suppose we have a positive integer,

x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.

For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0

Estimate the cost of painting a concrete patio if it is a 12 foot by 12 foot rectangle, and a quart of paint that covers 47 squa
umka21 [38]

Answer: $36.68 or $35.97. Read below.

Step-by-step explanation: You need to multiply the 12 foot by 12 foot and you would get 144 sq feet. Then divide 47 into 144. You will be left with 3.06, and if you need to round, you can round that to 3. Then you need to multiply 3 by $11.99 and you will be left with the cost for the paint, which is $35.97 if you do round to a three, and $36.68 if you do not round the three. So your answer is either $36.68 or $35.97 depending on whether you round or not.

Which sentence can represent the inequality One-half x + three-fourths greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

  The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about making sense of an English sentence.

  "half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."

And ...

  "at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)

  "not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)

_____

Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.

__

"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"

  means the same as ...

"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"
