If x and y are both positive, when is x-y negative?

If x and y are both positive, when is x-y negative

x and y are positive numbers. To get x-y a negative number while subtracting , the value of x should be less than the value of y.

For example, 5 - 9 = -4

x is 5 and y is 9 both are positive. 5 - 9  is -4 that is negative.

5 is less than 9

x - y is negative when the positive value of x is less than the positive value of y.

93.8

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = x

second number = 3x+7

total = 49

(x)+(3x+7)= 49

4x+7 = 49

4x = 42

x = 42/4

x= 10.5

x= 10.5

3x+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 93.8

hope this

no because after the troops were pulled many blacks were killed by hangings lynchings and other cruel ways which in a way interrupted the reconstruction of the south and differed from the way abraham lincoln had an idea of reconstruction
