If the interger being subtracted is LESS than the other interger, is the answer is negative or positive?













I know it's Grade 5 Math.

Answer 1

2. postive



1. negative















See Hougton Mifflin Math Grade 5 teacher edition.

Answer 2

If the integer being subtracted is GREATER than the other integer, then you are taking away more than you started with. So the answer is negative.

If the integer being subtracted is LESS than the other integer, then you are taking away less than you started with, so you'll still have something left. So the answer is positive.

If your integers are not positive, then the above intuitive reasoning breaks down a bit, but the answers are still the same.

Answer 3

lets assume the subtraction is of the form
x-y
where x & y are integers
if x>y then the answer will be postive
if x

in terms of your question, the answer to first part of your question is NEGATIVE
and the answer to the second part of the question is POSITIVE

Answer 4

lets assume the subtraction is of the form
x-y
where x & y are integers
if x>y then the answer will be positive
if x

in terms of your question, the answer to first part of your question is NEGATIVE
and the answer to the second part of the question is POSITIVE
it will be the opposite of 1st case

Answer 5

I'm guessing that you're probably starting out with both integers being positive, so yes. You're right on both counts.

a million) you opt for this formula y-y1-m(x-x1) perceive the variables x1=a million, y1=3, m=2 plug it in y-3=2(x-a million) simplify y-3=2x-2 upload 3 to the two facets y=2x+a million lower back y-y1=m(x-x1) perceive the varables x1= -6, y1=5, m= a million/3 plug it in y-5=a million/3(x+6) simplify y-5=a million/3x+2 y=a million/3x+8
