Answer:
<em>Step 1: 4 x − 3 − 2 x − 10 </em>
<em>Step 2: 2 x − 13</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression;
(4 x − 3) − 2 (x + 5)
The following steps/ procedure are to be taken when simplifying the expression.
open the parenthesis
(4 x − 3) − 2 (x + 5)
= 4x-3 -2(x)-2(5)
= 4x-3-2x-10
collect the like terms
= 4x-2x-3-10
simplify the resulting expression
= 2x-13
Hence the procedure that correctly simplifies the expression are:
Step 1: 4 x − 3 − 2 x − 10
Step 2: 2 x − 13
Answer:
The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5... are -6 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
index: 1 2 3 4 5 ....
value: 1 -2 3 -4 5
Let the index be n. Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.
a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)
a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1) = 3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)
a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1) = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)
So the general formula for a(n) is: a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)
Thus,
a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5
a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6
a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7
The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7. The first 7 numbers are
1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7

Answer:
When we are dividing exponents, there is this rule:
So, in our case we have this:
<span>The quotient of two numbers is negative. It must be true that B. one of the numbers is negative.
If neither number is negative, then their quotient will be positive, because both numbers are positive. If both numbers are negative, then their quotient will also be positive.
But since B is correct, their quotient will be negative.
For example: -9/3 = -3</span>
