Answer 6

b

Answer 7

How did you get that? @TryingToGetSmart1234

Answer 8

ok...lets see if I can explain this....think of a number line. If the numbers go to the left, they are less then...if they go to the right, they are greater then.

so greater then -5....going to the right....would be -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0, and all pos numbers.
your answer is C.

Negative numbers are the opposite of positive numbers in the way that the smaller the number gets, the bigger it is. Where positive numbers, the smaller the number gets, the smaller it is.

Answer 9

Oh okay! I get it thanks :) do you think you could help me with another one?

Answer 10

the answer could also be B because the numbers are all positive

Answer 11

what else ya got ?

Answer 12

Find C intersection D.
C: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}
D: {numbers divisible by 3 from 1 to 12}

Answer 13

6,12

Answer 14

all its asking is what is common in both sets

Answer 15

so basically find the common denominators almost?

Answer 16

not really....look at D...numbers divisible by 3 from 1 to 12 are 3,6,9,12...now find what numbers are common in both and that would be 6 and 12

Answer 17

Oh got ya

Answer 18

good to hear :)

Answer 19

So would you find the common set in this equation? Find A intersection B.
A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}
B: {-2, -1, 1, 4, 7, 11}
