Let us start with something we know is true.
5 > 3
That reads as 5 is greater than 3. Anyone will tell you that that is a true statement.
But what happens when you multiply this result by - 10
5 * -10 > 3 * - 10
- 50 > - 30 is that true? If you are not sure, think it terms of money. Which would you rather be
owing 50 dollars to some or owing 30 dollars to someone? Of course if you are careful with money you would likely say neither. But this is math so you have to choose.
You likely would have to say you would want to owe 30 dollars. That makes - 30 larger than - 50. So a true statement has now become a false one. Check with me if you don't understand. I'd like to know if you accept my explanation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

what we need to do is distribute the - sign in the middle of the parentheses into (7x^2 - 7 -8x^3)[/tex], this is very important to ensure we have the correct answer. by distributing we get the following equation:

now we combine like terms to get our answer
stays as it is, since there is nothing to combine it with
7x³ + 8x³ = 15x³
3x² - 7x² = -4x²
7 stays the same because like
, there is nothing else to combine it with
we have the following new equation:

Answer:
-4 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
-23/3 + (-11/2) + 35/4
<em>Find a common denominator (12).</em>
-92/12 + (-66/12) + 105/12
<em>Reform the equation to have this as a single fraction.</em>
(-92 + (-66) + 105)/12
<em>Subtract 66 from -92 to get -158.</em>
(-158 + 105)/12
<em>Add 105 to -158 to get -53.</em>
-53/12
<em>Convert into a mixed number by dividing by 12.</em>
-4 5/12 (Choice A) is your answer.
