Answer:

A positive number.

Any negative subtracted from a positive will always be positive.

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!

It's an arithmetic sequence:

a_1=36;\ a_2=37;\ a_3=38;\ ...\ ;\ a_{74}=109\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\a_1=36;\ n=74;\ a_{74}=109\\\\S_{74}=\dfrac{36+109}{2}\cdot74=\dfrac{145}{2}\cdot74=72.5\cdot74=5365

An Artist has 600 inches of framing material to form a rectangular frame. The dimensions of the wall on which it will hang limit
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

  • 2(L +W) ≤ 600
  • W ≤ 200
  • L ≥ 2W

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the problem wording means the length is to be at least 2 times <em>as long as</em> the width. (<em>Longer than</em> usually refers to a difference, not a scale factor.)

If we let "W" and "L" represent the width and length, respectively, then we can translate the problem statement to ...

  2(L + W) ≤ 600 . . . . . . the perimeter is twice the sum of length and width

  W ≤ 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . the width is at most 200 inches

  L ≥ 2W . . . . . . . . . . . . . the length is at least twice the width
