<h3>
Answer: -a > -b</h3>
Explanation:
Let's go over an example.
We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.
The corresponding opposites are: -a = -1 and -b = -7
The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b
Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.
In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
21 and -4, because -4x21 = -84, and 21+-4 (– 4) = 17
Answer:
P + M = 30
700P + 200M = 15000
Number of laser printers = 18
Number of color monitors = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P = number of laser printers
Let M = number of color monitors
Given total number of boxes = 30
⇒ P + M = 30
Given:
- $700 = cost of laser printer
- $200 = cost of color monitor
- $15000 = total cost of order
⇒ 700P + 200M = 15000
Rewrite P + M = 30 to make P the subject:
⇒ P = 30 - M
Substitute into 700P + 200M = 15000 and solve for M:
⇒ 700(30 - M) + 200M = 15000
⇒ 21000 - 700M + 200M = 15000
⇒ 500M = 6000
⇒ M = 12
Substitute found value for M into P = 30 - M and solve for P:
⇒ P = 30 - 12 = 18
