Why is - t - 3 written as 3 - t? Is it wrong if it is left as -t -3?

1 answer:

4 0

-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.

Compare the values of the two 8s in the number 467,882

Ludmilka [50]

The 8 in position 4 (from the left) means 800 and the 5th 8 means 80

so position 4 8 is ten times the the next 8. - as you would expect because its the decimal system based on 10.

difference = 800-80 = 720.

Given that p is an integer, q = -12 and the quotient of p/q is -3, find p

sergejj [24]

I think it’s p=36 because you have to do the opposite on both sides..

So..
q=-12
P/-12=-3
+12 *12
P=36

Answer:

$y=10x\text{ or }y=10x+0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is given by $y=mx+b$ .

Since Farmer Coraz purchases 10 items every month, he will have $10\cdot x$ items every $x$ months. Since he initially starts out with 0 items, at $x=0$ , y is also equal to 0, and thus we have the final equation:

$y=10x\text{ or }y=10x+0$

*Note: while slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$ , since the value of $b$ is 0, it is possible to omit it from the final equation and both answers should receive credit.
