Explain the difference between the expressions five is less than x and five less than x?

5 is less than x can be written as 5 < x and represents the set of all values of x such that 5 is less than x - or equivalently, all values of x that are greater than 5. This would comprise the part of that number line to the right of the number 5. 5 less than x is the expression x-5 and is the one value that is 5 units to the left of x on the number line.

Why is subtracting a negative number the same as adding a positive number?

The best way to understand this is probably by thinking of the real number line:Subtracting can be thought of as switching directions as you move along the number line. For instance, 5 + 3 means you start at position 5 on the positive side of the number line and move to the right, the positive direction, 3 integral ticks. However, 5 - 3 means you switch directions. Now, you start at position 5 and move left, the negative direction, 3 integral ticks.Negation can be thought of in the same manner as subtraction; i.e. as a directional change on the number line. Using the above example, that would mean that for 5 + (-3) you would once again start at position 5 on the positive side of the number line and start to move right, since that what addition means. However, the negative sign in front of the 3 forces you to change direction, so instead you end up moving left 3 integral ticks.Now, to finally answer your question. 5 - (-3), using the number line, would again mean that you would start at position 5 on the positive side. The subtraction operation, as explained above, means that you would move left 3 ticks instead of right. However, the negation of 3, also explained above, means that you would once again switch directions, this time from left to right, and ultimately move 3 ticks that way, the positive direction. Hopefully, you can see that the end result of both 5 + 3 and 5 - (-3) has you moving 3 ticks in the same direction, that being the positive direction, which is why they can be thought of as the same operation.

There is no number between 5 and 5. It is the same point on the number line and a word like between would imply a space from one point to the next on the number line.


Can 48724 go into 5?

any number can go into any number. its just a matter of will it go into that number with the answer being a whole number. your answer is no... 48724 can not go into 5 as a whole number. your answer would be 0.000102619 if 5 went into 48724 it would still not be a whole number. it would be 9744.8

Is negative 7 greater than negative 5?

No negative 5 is greater than negative 7. Remember, when you go right on a number line the amount of what you have gets bigger. If you go left on the number line the amount you have gets smaller. In terms, think of this. If you were sitting at $-5, how would you get to negative $-7? You'd go left(spend)? So this means that the amount is getting smaller.


How do you add positive and negative integers?

Use a number line for example: -5 _ _ _ _ 0 _ _ _ _ 5 if you have -5 and you add 10 then you will go up ten on the number line. (the lines are spots for numbers) so -5+10=5

What is meadian in maths?

If you line numbers up, it's the middle number in the group. If you have the numbers 2, 23, and 11, when you line them up in order, they would be 2, 11, and 23. 11 is in the middle, so it would be the median. But, let's say you had the numbers 5, 3, 9, and 6. When you line them up, it would be 3, 5, 6, 9. Five and six are the numbers in the middle. You can't have two medians, so the number would go in between 5 and 6. The median in 5.5 or 5 and a half.

How many units is it from -5 to 5 on the number line?

10 To find the units from any two integers on the number line, subtract one number from the other, and the absolute value of that number is the answer. In this case, you would write -5 - 5 = -10 or 5 - -5 = 10. The absolute value of both answers is 10.
