(b) TRUE

(d) TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

" The "opposite" of any number is also known as it's " additive inverse" i.e. for any number 'a' the additive inverse is 'a' ".

(a) TRUE

Since let us consider any negative number '-5' then it's opposite is '5' since (-5)+5=0

(b) TRUE

this could be seen clearly from the number line.

(c) FALSE

this statement is false since we can take example of zero.

the opposite of zero is 0 but 0×0≠1.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Adam, B = Betty

Adam and Betty purchased a printer together for $258.

This means we can say A + B = 258.

We are also told Adam paid $18 less than twice Betty.

You can write this as:

Adam = 2 x Betty - 18

A = 2B - 18

Substitute "A" into the A + B equation and you get:

A + B = 258

2B - 18 + B = 258

3B - 18 = 258

Add 18 to both sides.

3B = 258 + 18

3B = 276

Divide both sides by 3 to find B

B = 276/3 = 92 (This means Betty paid $92).

Since the total that they paid together was $258.

This means Adam pays the Total - How much Betty paid

Adam = 258 - 92 = $166

Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer is: a = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = -2, because after graphing the equation in Desmos and plugging in various values for a, I found that when a = -2, the equation passed through the point (-3,12), so that's the answer. I'll attach a photo of the graph.

Hope this helps! Feel free to give me Brainliest if you feel this helped. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)
