when you subtract a negative number the two negative signs cancel out and it turns to a positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

in -6 - (-2)

the two - signs cancel out so it ends up being

The two negative (-) signs cancel out.
In this case, when the signs cancel out, we get:
-6 + 2
And that’s how you get the answer -4

(Pretty much: -6 - (-2) is equal to -6 + 2. Both of which equal -4)

The average speed to go by car from home to college is 30 miles per hour. The average speed to go back home from college is 20 m
Levart [38]

Answer:

24 mph for both 60 miles and 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how long it takes to get to college and from it.

Speed x time (x) = Distance (60)

30x = 60

x=2

It takes two hours to get to college

20x = 60

x = 3

It takes 3 hours to get back. It's a total of 5 hours, 2 hours at 30mph and 3 at 20. Now we need to find the average

30+30+20+20+20=120

120/5= 24

The average speed for the round trip is 24.

To do the second part, we follow the same process, but replace 60 with 40 for distance.

30x=40

x= 1.33

20x=40

x=2

We can add the total distance and divide by total time to find the average.

The total distance is 80. Time is 3.33

80/3.33=24

The average speed is still 24.
