Question

Help Will Medal!!!!

Answer 1

The number line shows the distance in meters of two divers, A and B, from a shipwreck located at point X:

Answer 2

Write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between the two divers. (5 points)

Show your work and solve for the distance using additive inverses. (5 points)

Answer 3

@Will.H @Kevin

Answer 4

Write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between the two divers. (5 points)
B - A = 1.5 - (-2.5) =.....

Show your work and solve for the distance using additive inverses. (5 points)
Idk how is it, maybe @Will.H can help :D

Answer 5

XD ok ty

Answer 6

you know.. language problem..
Idk what is 'additive inverses' :/

Answer 7

additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero

Answer 8

i always hated it

Answer 9

same

Answer 10

hmm... still don't understand xD

Answer 11

Same here :P

Answer 12

such that
5+-5 = 0 that's the property

Answer 13

So...

Answer 14

Right so it would be
2.5 + -2.5 = 0
1.5+ - 1.5= 0
2.5 + 1.5 = 4!

Answer 15

don't ask more of these because i really hate it lol

Answer 16

ok back to question

Answer 17

Can you help me get explanation?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

1st we will have to get each number to reach the zero value and then add the numbers together to get the total distance
2.5 + -2.5 = 0 <-- Additive inverse
1.5+ - 1.5= 0 <-- Additive inverse
1.5+ 2.5 = 4 total distance from -2.5 to 1.5

Answer 21

ok ty

Answer 22

Don't you love Additive inverse? :D
