The sum of two numbers is -10.5. Identify two negative addends that make the statement true.

Can one of the addends be positive and the other be negative? Provide an example to prove your answer.

-5 and -5.5;

-12.5 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two negative addends, can be added together to give -10.5.

For example:

(-5) + (-5.5) = -5 - 5.5 = -10.5

Also, it is possible for one of the addends to be negative while the other is positive, and their sum will give us -10.5.

For example:

The sum of -12.5 and 2 will give us -10.5.

We are adding a positive and a negative number here. As usual, we will subtract the smaller number from the bigger number, while the result will carry the sign of the bigger number, which in this case is negative sign.

Thus:

(-12.5) + (2) = -10.5

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
