Question

Given that: a-b=5
Work out the value of b-a

Step by step if possible pls

Answer 1

The values can be infinite, but for this to be true, a has to be 5 more than b, so if you subtract them, b-a will always equal -5 if a-b=5

Explanation:

Example:

A=10

B=5

10-5=5 5-10= -5

Or:

A=15

B=10

15-10=5 10-15= -5

This can go on forever by increments of 5, as long as they are 5 apart.

Answer 2

⇒If you are to check carefully you will find that b-a= -(a-b)

⇒meaning in order to obtain the equation of b-a we multiply the whole equation of a-b by -1

`-(a-b)=-(50\\-a+b=-5\\b-a=-5`

hope this helps
