ok thx and u like my profile pic?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3bc is not necessarily negative. can you clarify your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just wanted to know if it was negative in the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the minus sign

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the term -3bc is telling us that it is the opposite of 3bc, which can sometimes be thought of as the negative of 3bc. but saying 3bc is negative is not proper.

ok
