Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-3.5 means -(3 +
)
In other words, -3.5 = 
When we draw two numbers
and
on a number line,
comes first from left to right.
We know that all the numbers on a number line from left to right are in increasing order.
Therefore,
is smaller than
.

Lauren is not correct.
Answer:
The values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0,
or
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equation to solve is given as:

Factoring
from all the terms, we get:

Now, rearranging the terms, we get:

Now, factoring
from the first two terms and 6 from the last two terms, we get:

Now, equating each factor to 0 and solving for 'x', we get:

There are 3 real values and 2 imaginary values. The value of 'x' as 0 is repeated twice.
Therefore, the values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0,
or
.
-30-27= -57
When both numbers are negative, they are “added” in a sense, but remain negative.
-5-(-4)= -1
You have to multiply the (-4) by the “invisible” -1 on the outside before you add/subtract.
To do these problems, you plug in the ‘n’ value given into the equation.
a. 6j - 3 : j = 4
6(4) - 3
24 - 3
21
b. 1/2b + 5 : b = 14
1/2(14) + 5
7 + 5
12
c. 8 + 4k : k = 3.5
8 + 4(3.5)
8 + 14
22
Answer:
1/3 I think I did the math and if that's not right try 1/3:1/4 (<--ratio)
