1 foot = 12 inches
12 * 5 = 60 and 8 * 12 = 96
Therefore, 60 inches is a shorter length than 8 feet.
Here's the rule for working with these things:
There are 3 signs associated with a fraction:
=> the sign of the numerator
=> the sign of the denominator
=> the sign of the whole fraction; (if the fraction were in
parentheses, this sign would be written outside).
-- You can change any 2 of them without changing the value of the fraction.
-- Changing any 1 of them changes the effective sign.
___________________________________
Now, you said the fraction is negative.
So, let's start with the positive fraction, and see the different ways
that we could make it a negative fraction:
=> mark only the numerator negative
=> mark only the denominator negative
=> put parentheses around the fraction, and mark it negative outside
If you do any one of these things to a normal positive fraction,
it turns into a negative fraction.
Look at the choices you listed in the question:
-- in the numerator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- in the denominator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- both ? No. That makes it the same as a positive fraction.
-- put parentheses around the fraction, and a negative sign outside ?
Yes. This makes it a negative fraction.
-- it doesn't matter ? No. I hope you can see that it does matter.
Have I confused you ?
Is this more than you wanted to know ?
Answer:
X= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
10 + x = -12
X = 12 - 10
X = 2
I have seen this problem before, except it was worded differently. Is this the problem you wished to express?
1+4=5, 2+5=12, 3+6=21, 8+11=?
If so, then your answer is to simply add the last answer to the next problem. If not, then I am afraid I cannot help you.
1+4=5
5+2+5=12
12+3+6=21
21+8+11=40
Answer:
2 is the answer to your question
