Answer:
1) -3 is not equal to 3
2) -3
3) -183
4) 1112
5) 0
6) see explanation
7) positive
Explanation:
1) "If a = − 9 and b = − 6, show that (a−b) ≠ (b−a)."
-9--6 -9+6= -3
-6--9 -6+9= 3
2) (-3) + (-7) = (-7) + ______
-3-7=-10 -10+7=-3
(-7)+ (-3) = -10
3) Subtract − 134 from the sum of 38 and − 87.
38+-87
38-87=-49
-49-134= -183
4) Find the product of: 16 x (-36) + (-36) x -46
16×-34= -544
-36×-46= 1656
-544+1656= 1112
5) "Find each of the following products:i) (-12) x 0 x (-56) ii) (-654) x 1
times zero is in the equation so it equals 0
6) "Verify a – (-b) = a + b for the following values of a and b.i) a = 15, b = 9
15-(-9)=
15+9=24
two negatives make a positive
5+9=24
24=24
7) What will be the sign of the product, if we multiply 90 negative integers and 9 positive integers?
positive, 90 is divisible by two so all of those cancel out into a positive and then a positive times a positive is positive
