The substraction of a matrix b may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)b. dose the commutative law of addition permit us to atate that a - b = b - a? if not, how would you correct the statement?

 The corrected statement is A - B = -B + A.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the subtraction of a matrix B may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)B.

We are given to check whether the commutative law of addition permit us to state that A - B = B - A.

If not, We are to correct the statement.

If the subtraction A - B is considered a the addition A + (-B), then the commutative law should be stated as follows :

A + (-B) = (-B) + A.

That is, A - B = -B + A.

Thus, the corrected statement is A - B = -B + A, not B - A.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
