Three less than the square of the quotient of a number and five

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Look for the word "Is" first - this is where your "=" goes.  (In your problem, it actually says "is equal to".)

So now you know you have = 9.

The next key word on the left is "quotient" - that means divide.  It says "quotient of a number and 5" - so we'll divide an unknown number (y in your problem) by 5.

Three less than means subtract 3 from that quotient.

So you need to start with the quotient:  y/5 - 3 = 9.

hope it helps!

Insert <, >, or = between the given pair of numbers to make a true statement.- |-11| - (-11)

Answers

Answer:

- |-11| < - (-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the pair of numbers - |-11| and - (-11), we want to determine which is greater or whether they are equal

First lets rewrite both numbers.

- |-11| = -11 (note that the modulus sign will change any negative value into a positive value and that's why |-11| is equivalent to 11)

- (-11)  = 11 (note that the negative sign here was retained since it is not an absolute value like the former)

It can be seen that both numbers are therefore not equal i.e  - |-11| is less than  - (-11). Hence the expression - |-11| < - (-11) is a true statement
