Answer 13

what is a negative - a negative

Answer 14

if your subtracting from a negative it means your adding

Answer 15

i keep getting -21

Answer 16

i think you're thinking of multiplication rule for -1 time -1 = 1

Answer 17

subtraction

Ex. 6 - 2 = 6 + (-2) = 4
Ex. -6 - -2 = -6 + (+2) = -4
Ex. -6 - 2 = -6 + (-2) = -8 <-----
Ex. 6 - -2 = 6 + (+2) = 8
so this would make the problem -21 since
-6 - 15
forgive me if im wrong, its been years since i did this

Answer 18

i did a little research http://mathhomeworkanswers.org/49400/what-is-y-in-3y-15-6

Answer 19

Rule of thumb always picture the number line
when you add go to the right when you subtract go to the left
when you add a minus you are subtracting
when you subtract a minus you are "bouncing back" so add go right


for this problem 3y + 15 > –6
what @HeatDude has is correct ; y>-7

to check you can always pick a number and plug it in
example use a number >-7 choose 2 then 3*2 + 15 = 6 + 15 =21 which is >-6
example use a number <-7 choose -8 then 3*(-8) +15=-24 + 15 which is <-6

Answer 20
