Solve the following expression 8 + (-20)

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the rules of the signs:

If there are two positive signs next to each other, the resulting sign will be positive. Example + (+  ).

If there is one negative sign and one positive sign directly next to each other, the resulting sign will be negative Example - (+  ) or + (-  ).

If there are two negative signs directly next to each other, the resulting sign will be positive. Example - (-  ).

In this case, there is one negative, and one positive sign. Subtract 8 with 20:

8 + (-20) = 8 - 20 = -12

-12 is your answer.

b. 2

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line =δy/δx

δy= y₂-y₁

δx= x₂-x₁

therefore, using the points (-2,-3)   and (3,7) we can calculate gradient as follows:

m=(7--3)/(3--2) (a number minus a negative number the sign changes to a plus)

m=(7+10)/(3+2)

=10/5

=2
