Algebra.Com's Answer #629853 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Maybe you need help with negative numbers. \n" ); document.write( "What you posted are linear \n" ); document.write( "They are not inequalities. \n" ); document.write( "Inequalities have \n" ); document.write( "The last two equations need a little simplifying. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "When \n" ); document.write( "When \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "All those \"-\" signs probably mean that your teacher is trying to make you see that negative numbers exist. \n" ); document.write( "If you lived in a northern cold place, you would believe in negative numbers, \n" ); document.write( "because you would be seeing them in your outdoor thermometer. \n" ); document.write( "When you take \n" ); document.write( "your advance in the intended direction is \n" ); document.write( "In elementary school, they told you that is subtraction : \n" ); document.write( "read as \"3 minus 2 equals 1\". \n" ); document.write( "In college, they told me that there was no such thing as subtraction, \n" ); document.write( "that taking away \n" ); document.write( "and that \n" ); document.write( "because adding them together I would get \n" ); document.write( "which was the number that added to anything caused no change at all. \n" ); document.write( "So I stopped believing in subtraction, \n" ); document.write( "just as I had stopped believing in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, \n" ); document.write( "and the next day, for my father's birthday, I told him that as a poor student, all I could give him as a birthday gift was \n" ); document.write( "and he gave me the $20 I needed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Normally, we write \n" ); document.write( "as \n" ); document.write( "We simplify it by applying the distributive property as needed: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "and do the multiplications first: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(Normally, we write the equation above as \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Next we \"collect like terms\" \n" ); document.write( "by changing the order of those terms (commutative property of addition), \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "and \"taking ot the common factor\" (applying the distributive property) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Since we have terms in \n" ); document.write( "and terms without any variable on both sides of the equal sign, \n" ); document.write( "we want to add opposite terms to both sides of the equal sign as needed to simplify this mess. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "That is the equation of a line that passes through the points with \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "That is the equation of a line that passes through the points with \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
