3 number of days are given form different activities of sales and purchase.
Day 2:
Earnings : $16
Spendings : $7.
Day 3:
Earnings : $22
Spendings : $12.
Please note: We always add the Earnings and Subtract the Spendings.
Therefore, the expression can be used to model the situation for these 2 days as
First day earning - First day spendings + Second day earning - Second day spendings
16-7 + 22 -12.
In order to write the expression as adding the additive inverse, we need to factor out minus from second group by making expression into two groups.
We will write two positive numbers in first group and two negative numbers in second group.
(16+22) + (-7-12).
Factoring out minus sign from second group, we get
(16+22) - (7+12)
This expression in additive inverse form now.
Answer:
positive is the correct answer
In this item, it is unfortunate that a figure, drawing, or illustration is not given. To be able to answer this, it is assumed that these segments are collinear. Points L, M, and N are collinear, and that L lies between MN.
The length of the whole segment MN is the sum of the length of the subsegments, LN and LM. This can be mathematically expressed,
LN + LM = MN
We are given with the lengths of the smalller segments and substituting the known values,
MN = 54 + 31
MN = 85
<em>ANSWER: MN = 85</em>
