What is negative 7 minus negative 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
zalisa [80]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 - (-2)

-7 + 2

Example: If you owe someone $7, and you give them $2, how much do you still owe? You are owing him $7 so it's a negative and you give him $2 which is a negative as well since you are giving it to him. So, to answer how much do you still owe, you would add $2  to the $7 you owed, so now, you owe him $5, which is a negative since you OWE him.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

<u>The solution of this system of equation is ( 3, - 8)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's solve the system of equations:

First equation:

x + 2y = - 13

x = - 13 - 2y

Second equation:

12x + 5y = -4

12 * (- 13 - 2y) + 5y = - 4 (Replacing x with - 13 - 2y)

-156 -24y + 5y = - 4

-24y + 5y = - 4 + 156 (Like terms)

-19y = 152

y = - 152/19

<u>y = -8</u> (Dividing by 19)

Solving x

x + 2y = -13

x + 2 (- 8 ) = - 13

x - 16 = - 13

x = - 13 + 16

<u>x = 3</u>

2. Proving that x = 3 and y = - 8 are correct:

12x + 5y = -4

12 * 3 + 5 * -8 = -4

36 - 40 = - 4

- 4 = - 4

<u>We proved that x = 3 and y = - 8 are correct</u>

the perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meter. the width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. find the length a
xz_007 [3.2K]
"<span>Start by setting up the standard equation for perimeter of a parallelogram, P=2w+2h (these variables of course being width and height). </span>
Now, substitute in what you know...

<span>The problem tells us that width is equal to height minus four. This means that, in order to keep only one variable in this problem, we will write width as h-4. </span>
<span>The problem also tells us that 72 is the perimeter, so we substitute that for P. </span>

72=2(h-4)+2h
<span>Now solve from here. </span>
<span>(Distribute first) </span>
72=2h-8+2h
(Combine like terms)
72=4h-8
80=4h
(Isolate h)
80/4=h
<span>20=h"</span>

a certain forest covers an area of 4100km squared. if each year the area decreased by 4.5% what will be the area after 15 years
babunello [35]

Answer:

  2055 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of forest remaining after t years can be modeled by the exponential equation ...

  remaining = original · (multiplier each year)^(number of years)

  area = 4100·0.955^t

Then for t=15, the area is ...

  area = 4100·0.955^15 ≈ 2055.1 . . . . km²

The area of the forest after 15 years will be about 2055 square kilometers.
