Subtracting a negative number is like removing debt. When you remove debt, you effectively gave someone money and the value of their bank account increased.
Another answer is that “subtraction is addition of the opposite,” so subtracting a negative number is really adding a positive number, which again causes the other number to increase.
Hey there! :)
Answer:
-1/5n + 7 = 2
Start by subtracting 7 from both sides:
-1/5n + 7 - (7) = 2 - (7)
-1/5n = -5
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of -1/5, or -5.
(-5) · (-1/5n) = (-5) · (-5)
n = 25

That will be 48 ounces of mixed nuts because 1 pound of nuts is 16 ounces so i did 16 times 3 and that is 48
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(3/4) a^(-5)b^(-3)c^2
Discussion:
(18 a^-3b^2c^6)/ (24 a^2b^5c^4) =
(18/24) a^ (-3-2) b^(2-5) c^(6-4) =
as a^-3/a^-2 = a ^ (-3-2) = a^(-5), for examples
(3/4) a^(-5)b^(-3)c^2
Thank you,
MrB
