Answer:

A positive number.

Any negative subtracted from a positive will always be positive.

Serjik [45]3 years ago

Answer:

a-b will be and will always be a POSITIVE number.

This is because a is positive, and b is negative.

However, when you subtract a negative number, you are actually just adding it.

So, a - (-b) = a+b.

This is why, it will always be positive.

Let me know if this helps!

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

9-(-8)=20             given

9+8=20                the two negatives cancel out, making the eight positive

17=20                   this statement is not correct, so the answer is no solution

no solution

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be a variable in there somewhere, but I did my best to explain. Hope this helps!

Determine the shortest segment in △ PQS and △ QRS. Remember that a segment is named by its endpoints (two letters).
irinina [24]

Answer: QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

ΔPQS, and ΔSQR,

Consider, ΔPQS,

As we know that " the length opposite to the largest angle is the shortest segment."

So, According to the above statement.

\angle QPS=63\textdegree\\\\\text{So, QS is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Similarly,

Consider, ΔSQR,

Again applying the above statement, we get that,

\angle QSR=75\textdegree\\\\\text{ So, QR is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Hence, QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.
