We have
-9 + 7 = -2
You can also rewrite this as
7 - 9 = -2
If it makes you more comfortable.
Hope this helps.
Answer: a. gregory b. linus
step by step explanation:
Pattern A starts with 20 and substracts 3
First number = 20
Second number = 20 - 3 = 17
Third number = 17 - 3 = 14
Fourth number = 14 - 3 = 11
Pattern B starts with 10 and adds 2
First number = 10
Second number = 10 + 2 = 12
Third number = 12 + 2 = 14
Fourth number = 14 + 2 = 16
Now join pattern A and B
First combination = (20,10)
Second combination = (17,12)
Third combination = (14, 14)
Fourth combination = (11, 16)
The answer is d. (20,10), (17,12), (14,14), (11,16)
