Answer: The corrected statement is A - B = -B + A.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the subtraction of a matrix B may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)B.
We are given to check whether the commutative law of addition permit us to state that A - B = B - A.
If not, We are to correct the statement.
If the subtraction A - B is considered a the addition A + (-B), then the commutative law should be stated as follows :
A + (-B) = (-B) + A.
That is, A - B = -B + A.
Thus, the corrected statement is A - B = -B + A, not B - A.
To match the number with the opposite, we are flipping the sign. If the sign is originally a negative, it would become a positive, and vice versa.
Term: 3.2 Match (Opposite): B) - 3.2
Term: -2.3 Match (Opposite): D) 2.3
Term: -1.5 Match (Opposite): C) 1.5
Term: 5.1 Match (Opposite): A) -5.1

Given:
10 yards required
5 2/3 yards on hand.
We need to subtract the yards on hand from the total yards required.
First, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5 2/3 = ((5*3)+2)/3 = (15+2)/3 = 17/3
Second, we need to multiply 10 by a fraction that will give us the denominator of 3.
10 * 3/3 = (10*3)/3 = 30/3
Third, we do subtraction using our derived fractions.
30/3 - 17/3 = (30-17)/3 = 13/3
Lastly, we simplify the improper fraction. Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator. Its simplified form is a mixed fraction.
13/3 = 4 1/3
Arliss needs to buy 4 1/3 yards more to complete the required yard length.
The awnser to this is 2 and also 3
