These are the two rules for when a and b are positive numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b ≠ b -a
a - b = -b + a
For example:
5.71 + 2.84 = 2.84 + 5.71
8.55 = 8.55
5.71 - 2.84 ≠ 2.84 - 5.71
2.87 ≠ -2.87
5.71 - 2.84 = -2.84 + 5.71
2.87 = 2.87
These are the rules for when a and b are negative numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b = b + a
For example,
-6.2 + (-3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-6.2 - 3.96 = -3.96 - 6.2
-10.16 = -10.16
-6.2 - (3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-10.16 = -10.16
Also, if a is a positive number, while b is a negative number, we see these rules:
a + b = a - b
a - b = a + b
For example,
5.71 + (-6.2) = 5.71 - 6.2
-0.49 = -0.49
5.71 - (-6.2) = 5.71 + 6.2
11.91 = 11.91
Also, if a is a negative number while b is a positive number, then these rules will apply:
a + b = b - a
a - b = -b - a
For example,
-3.96 + 2.84 = 2.84 - 3.96
-1.12 = <span>-1.12
</span>
-3.96 - 2.84 = -2.84 - 3.96
-6.8 = -6.8
I hope this helps! :)
8+(9t+4)
remove ( )
since there's a + in front of the ( ) the value will not change
8+9t+4
combine like terms
9t+12
Hope this helps
Hey there! :)
This figure is an irregular polygon. Regular polygons have side lengths that measure the same length. In this polygon, not all the sides are equal. Therefore, it is an irregular polygon.
Your answer is the 2nd choice ⇒ irregular polygon
Hope this helps :)
