<h3>
Answer: -a > -b</h3>
Explanation:
Let's go over an example.
We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.
The corresponding opposites are: -a = -1 and -b = -7
The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b
Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.
In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
Answer:
-22 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 1/2 *s
Let s = 9
-2 1/2 (9)
Change to an improper fraction
-5/2 *9
-45/2
Change back to a mixed number
-22 1/2
Answer:
x=-4, y=2. (-4, 2).
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+6y=-8
-2x+8y=24
-----------------
2(5x+6y)=2(-8)
5(-2x+8y)=5(24)
-----------------------
10x+12y=-16
-10x+40y=120
---------------------
52y=104
y=104/52
y=2
5x+6(2)=-8
5x+12=-8
5x=-8-12
5x=-20
x=-20/5
x=-4
17% ? Idont know if its 22 divided by 126 or 126 divided by 22
