i think D
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
in general the opposite of a sum is given by the subsequent formula:
\[ - \left( {a + b} \right) = - a - b\]
where a qnd b are two real numbers
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
and*
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so, you are right!

we have to solve the computation inside the parentheses, so we have:
12.4+(-2+1.6)=12.4+(-0.4)=12.4-0.4=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think B
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!

What value of q makes the statement true?
–(q + 14) = –3 + (–14)
A.
–17
B.
–3
C.
3
D.
17
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
at the rigt side we can write this:
-3+(-14)=-3-14=...?
please complete

right*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3+(-14)=-3-14=im thinking
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok! and what is -3-14=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait i think A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i correct

more precisely:
right side= -17
now we can rewrite your original expression, as below:
-(q+14)=-17
from which I can write this:
q+14=17
so, what is q?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-17
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we have to find a number which added to 14 gives 17. what is such number?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i had it but u r confusing me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 i guess

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
q=3 because 3+14=17
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhhh ok
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right, your option is C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Use an addition property to solve for c.
14 + (–12) = –12 + c
A.
–26
B.
–14
C.
14
D.
26

if I apply the commutative property, I can write this:
14+(-12)=-12+14
so, what is c?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
14=C
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yay i got a 100
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
:) :)
