Why do you start with the greater number when adding on a number line

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: I think i am incorrect about this; but here it goes anyways..

On a number line, there is negatives and positives. As such, if there's only negatives, you must start with the lower negative due that it is much more huger than the bottom negatives.

Now then, if there's positive and negatives on there, go for the positive. The negatives are lower than positives, and it'll always stay like that.

But! If it doesn't make any sense, take a look at this.

5-, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

See the pattern? -5 is the lowest one out of all them, due that the negatives that are currently raising, it is going into the positives. So you must add the greater number first.

The prime number 19 is the average of which two different prime numbers?

Answers

Hi There!

The answer would be 19 divided by 1, because 19 is a prime number so it has the factors of 19 and 1, so 19 divided by 1 is 1.

Hope This Helps!

It's just 19 ÷ 1 because if you only did 19 ÷ 19 it would just equal 1. Any number divided by itself will always equal 1. Hope this makes sense a little bit

Simplify 8(3 - 2x)

---------------------------------

Apply Distributive Property

8 · 3 - 8 · 2x

Simplify

8 · 3 - 8 · 2x: 24 - 16x

= 24 - 16x

$\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}$

Answer:

24x-16x c

Step-by-step explanation:

8(3-2x)

8*3=24

-2x*8=-16x

24x-16x

Answer:

Multiples and Submultiples of Volts.

Multiples and submultiples are prefixes and sufixes which are used to express a higher or lower number of a magnitude.

From least to greatest.

Multiples are: deka, hecto, kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta, yotta.

Submultiples are: deci, centi, mili, micro, nano, pico, femto, atto, zepto, yokto.

Multiples of volts are:

dekavolts: $10V$

hectovolts: $10^(2) V$

kilovolts: $10^(3) V$

megavolts: $10^(6)V$

gigavolts: $10^(9)V$

teravolts: $10^(12)V$

petavolts: $10^(15) V$

exavolts: $10^(18)V$

zettavolts: $10^(21)V$

yottavolts: $10^(24) V$

Submultiples of volts are:

decivolts: $10^(-1)V$

centivolts: $10^(-2)V$

milivolts: $10^(-3) V$

microvolts: $10^(-6)V$

nanovolts: $10^(-9) V$

picovolts: $10^(-12)V$

femtovolts: $10^(-15)V$

attovolts: $10^(-18)V$

zeptovolts: $10^(-21)V$

yoktovolts: $10^(-24)V$ .

MV =MegaVolt   (1 MV = 1000000 V)
KV = KiloVolt   (1 KV = 1000 V)
V = Volt   (1V = 1 V)   :))
mV   = miliVolt (1V = 1000 mV)
μV = microVolt (1V) = 1000000 μV
