247- 538 = -291
If you line them up in that order 247 you'll have to borrow. Your answer would be -291
-538
The only way to not get -291 is to flip the two numbers.
I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
Answer:
The sum of the roots is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30
we know that
In a quadratic equation of the form
The sum of the roots is equal to
in this problem we have
so

substitute
<u><em>Verify</em></u>
Find the roots of the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to


substitute





The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5
The sum of the roots are
----> is ok
Answer:
...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Eric: The 10 is the initial amount, the 1/2 is the decay factor or the rate at which it decreases, and the exponent w is the number of weeks it decreases by factor 1/2, or the time. Andrea, 1 is the initial amount, 0.2 is the decay factor or rate of decrease, w is time passed or number of weeks it's decayed by the factor.
