If a = -3 and b = 5, then the value of =

It could be +2 or -8

Step-by-step explanation:

To get +2 you would have to do a + b.  Which would even up too -3 + 5.  that equals +2 and if you flip it you get the same thing b + a.

To get -8 you have too subtract instead of adding.  So you would do a - b.  That would be -3 - 5.  and when you subtract negatives you must Keep, Change, and Flip (KCF) the problem.  You would Keep -3, then you Change the sign which means from subtraction to addition so - to +.  And the last step is to Flip it which means to flip the number to the opposite sign +5 would go to -5.  So in the end you would have -3 + -5 which gives you -8.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
