Answer:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

− x + 3 − ( x − 5 )

Distribute the Negative Sign:

= − x + 3 + − 1 ( x − 5 )

= − x + 3 + − 1x + ( − 1 ) ( − 5 )

= − x + 3 + − x + 5

Combine Like Terms:

= − x + 3 + − x + 5

= ( − x + − x ) + ( 3 + 5 )

= − 2x + 8

Answer:

= − 2x + 8

In a problem like this, you have the see it as two separate problems before you can complete it. I’ll show work but I want to use words to maybe help you understand for the future. So split them apart to become (-x+3) as the first step and leave that alone for now. Then look at -(x-5). With the variable in place, you need to think of the subtraction sign as a negative integer and distribute it to the variables in the parentheses. The negative combines with the x to make a -x and the negative combines with the -5 to make a positive five. So now we have -x+5
After you complete that first part, you can pull the first part back and start to combine them. -x+3-x+5 becomes -2x+8.
Now here’s the work part.
(-x+3)-(x-5)
(-x+3) (-x+5)
-x (+) -x = -2x
3+5 = 8
-2x+8 is the final answer

Given that the product of two positive integers is 44, and their least common multiple is 22, what is their greatest common divi

swat32

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any positive numbers a,b we always have the following identity:

$a\cdot b=gcd(a,b)\cdot lcm(a,b)$

(gcd(a,b) denotes the greatest common divisor between a and b, and lcm(a,b) denotes the least common multiple between a and b)

In our case, we are given that $a\cdot b = 44$ and that $lcm(a,b)=22$ . Plugging that in into our identity, we get:

$44=gcd(a,b)\cdot 22$

And so solving for $gcd(a,b)$ :

$gcd(a,b)=\frac{44}{22}=2$

(-4)(-4) use an exponent to rewrite the expression

DiKsa [7]

For this case we have the following expression:
 $(-4)(-4) 
$
By properties of exponents we have:
Same basis, the exponents are added.
We have then:
$(-4)^{1+1}$
Then, rewriting the exponent we have:
$(-4)^{2}$
Therefore, an exponent to rewrite the expression is:
2
Answer:
$(-4)^{2}$
an exponent to rewrite the expression is 2.
