1. explain how you would subtract a − b given two real numbers. be sure to include the following in your explanation: (a) explain how to use a number line to calculate the solution. be sure to explain the process for all possible values of a and b (positive or negative). (b) explain how you can determine whether the result for a − b will be positive or negative. 2. adriana has three kids whose ages are consecutive even integers. the sum of their ages is 60. a. write an equation that represents this situation. b. determine the age of each kid.

b mark me branliest thx

step-by-step explanation:

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
