It is a that is your answer
2/3 is exactly the same as 8/12
The values that make this statement falser are any in which a and b do not have the same sign.
For instance, if a was equal to 3 and b was equal to -3 than see the results.
|a+b|=
|3+-3|=
|0|= 0
Then see the next equation with the same selections
|a|+|b|
|3|+|-3|
3 + 3 = 6
And this would be true no matter which is the negative, as long as there is one negative and one positive.
13: 72.25
14: 52
For 14, you need to split the figure into a triangle and rectangle.
The total charge for Juan in the parking spot would be $2.25.
Since we know one of those 8 hours is 50 cents, we can multiply .25 by 7 which would give us 1.75. Then we know that the first hour, as stated above, is going to be .50, so we can add that to our total which is 2.25.
Hope this helps!
