@ajprincess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract successive numbers.. (-3)-3 = ? (-9)-(-3)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that much you keep adding starting with the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ithought mabey b but im ot sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no (a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with "3" then add "-6" to it -> -3 then add "-6" to this->-9 and so on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luis_Rivera

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help on two and three im not goodat thiss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, on number two your asked to find the rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if you start with -4, what can you do to get to -8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure its d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just wannaknow if im right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, thats incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aw really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That type of multiple quetions i explain during private tutoring on my website. Contact me if you're interested

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, but lets stick with that for now. Why did you say D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Pandalover485 why did you say D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becse the were add - 4 each time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well does adding -4 work to get you from -8 to -16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so what single operation could you do to get from -8 to -16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that could work, but would that work to get you from -16 to -32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?? becase 32 - 16 is 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Now all three of those numbers that you said (4, 8, 16) have a common factor... What is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True, but we are not looking for the GCF here. Wouldn't 2 be a factor for those three numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4;1,4,2 8;1,8,2 16;1,16,8,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so if we have two as a factor. What can we do to the original number (-4) to make it equal -8 while still using 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: It's one of the four operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um........idk is it a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's not A either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, multiply -4 by 2 and tell me what you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Pandalover485 don't give up now! Your so close to getting this!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go, here are thw answrs with explinations: 2. B: the rule of multiply 2 holds true for all numbers in the set 3. B: adding two every time gives you all numbers listed there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... thanks....
