What operation makes the statement true; 18 __ (-20) =-2

Mathematics

Finger [1]3 years ago

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{+}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this statement true, we want to make it so that when -20 is "<em>something</em>'d" to 18, we get -2.

Let's try all the common operators first - add, subtract, multiply, divide.

Let's try add.

If we put a plus sign there:

18 + (-20) = -2

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

18-20=-2

This is true! 18 - 20 is indeed -2. This means + is the right operator.

For fun, let me briefly go over what happens with all the other operators.

Subtract:

18 - (-20) = -2\\\\18+20=-2\\\\28 \neq -2

Multiply:

18 \cdot (-20) = -2\\\\-360 \neq -2

Divide:

18 \div (-20) = -2\\\\-0.9 \neq -2

Hope this helped!

A parking lot covers 32,420 square feet .what id its area to the nearest thousand feet
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: 32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

the thousands place (1000) is the fourth number to the left of the decimal, so round that one either up or down based on the number just one spot closer to the decimal, in this case, the hundreds place (100).

so we have 32,420

we can ignore the numbers that are going to become zeros as a result of the rounding . .

32,400

let's round 32,XXX either up or down based on the value in the hundreds place. if that value is 5 or greater, than we round up. if it is less than 5, than we round down.

4 is in the hundreds place, so we round down

32,000 is the answer

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)

Find the degree of this polynomial? <br> 13-4ab+5a^3b
Anastasy [175]
Let's take a peek of each term, to be specific, the exponent of the variables only, to see what degree each term is

\bf 13-4ab+5a^3b\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;13\impliedby \textit{no variable, degree is 0}\\&#10;4ab\to 4a^1b^1\impliedby \textit{1+1, degree is 2}\\&#10;5a^3b\to 5a^3b^1\impliedby\textit{3+1, degree is 4}&#10;\end{cases}

so...which term has the highest degree? well, that one, is the degree of the polynomial
