An expression involves subtracting two numbers from a given first number under what circumstance will the value of the expression be negative

Say that you start from a number . Then, you subtract and from , which means that the expression is

If we want this expression to be negative, we have

So, in order for the expression to be negative, the two numbers we are subtracting, combined, must be more than the starting number.

For example, if we start from 10 and we subtract 4 and then 8, we have

which is negative, because 4 and 8 combined are more than 10

560

hope this : )

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
