Adding Integers
If the numbers that you are adding have the same sign, then add the numbers and keep the sign.
Example:
-5 + (-6) = -11
Adding Numbers with Different Signs
If the numbers that you are adding have different (opposite) signs, then SUBTRACT the numbers and take the sign of the number with the largest absolute value.
Examples:
-6 + 5= -1
12 + (-4) = 8
Subtracting Integers
When subtracting integers, I use one main rule and that is to rewrite the subtracting problem as an addition problem. Then use the addition rules.
When you subtract, you are really adding the opposite, so I use theKeep-Change-Change rule.
The Keep-Change-Change rule means:
Keep the first number the same.
Change the minus sign to a plus sign.
Change the sign of the second number to its opposite.
Example:
12 - (-5) =
12 + 5 = 17
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
The great thing about multiplying and dividing integers is that there is two rules and they apply to both multiplication and division!
Again, you must analyze the signs of the numbers that you are multiplying or dividing.
The rules are:
If the signs are the same, then the answer is positive.
If the signs are different, then then answer is negative.
The answer is -21.4
Hope that answers your question ;)
Answer: You should not make that assumption in this problem.
The side-splitter theorem is about the line segments that are formed on the transverals themselves. It is not talking about the distances on the set of parallel lines. If you wanted to find the value of x, you should look for another way to prove the relationship involving the x-value.
Answer:
<h2>width = 6 feet</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
let l be the length of the rectangle
let w be the width of the rectangle
The statement
The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than three times the width of the
rectangle is written as
l = 6 + 3w
From the question
l = 24 feet
Substitute the value into the above formula and solve for the width
That's
24 = 6 + 3w
3w = 24 - 6
3w = 18
Divide both sides by 3
w = 6
Therefore
<h3>width = 6 feet</h3>

Answer:
8/7 min = 
Step-by-step explanation:
A rate 2 2/3 = 8/3 min per tank
B rate 2 min per tank
thus:
A rate = 3/8 tank per min
B rate = 1/2 tank per min
A+ B = 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 tank per min
7/8 x = 1
x = 8/7 min
