if 1+2+3+4+5=15
then -(1+2+3+4+5)=-15
so -1-2-3-4-5=-15
add 10 on both sides
-1-2-3-4-5+10=-15+10
-1-2-3-4+5=-5
myininaya (myininaya):
and of course we can use everything you have before what is
so we have 1+1=2
5(1+1)=5(2)
5(1+1)=10
myininaya (myininaya):
so i added 5(1+1) on both sides
myininaya (myininaya):
but remember 1+1=2
myininaya (myininaya):
and 5(2)=10

use "negative" as an adjective. as in "that is a negative number"
myininaya (myininaya):
minus is an operation
OpenStudy (chaise):
Minus five and negative 5 is the same. When you say minus 5, it's assumed minus 5 from 0.
myininaya (myininaya):
i know 0 minus 5 and negative 5 are the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):

myininaya (myininaya):
0 minus 5 is right
not minus 5
