Putting a negative number in parentheses merely assists a subtraction sum involving negative numbers. For example, 14 - (-17) = 31.

What property is shown in negative parenthesis negative 38 plus 17 parenthesis equals 38 plus negative 17?

-(-38 + 17) = 38 + (-17) On the left side we read: the opposite of the quantity. Since that quantity contains two terms, it also means the opposite of both terms. Let me rewrite the left side, such as - {-(38) + [- (-17)]}. (notice, -38 is the opposite of 38, and -(-17) is the opposite of -17) Let me distribute the negative sign to both terms of the quantity, -(-38) + {-[- (-17)]}. So we have an equivalent statement such as -(-38) + {- [-(-17)]} = 38 + (-17) As you see, in this new statement we have the opposite of the opposite of a number which would give us back the number itself, and as a result 38 + (-17) = 38 + (-17) Therefore, the original statement is an identity.

How do you find a system folder to start a mac?

The System folder is installed as part of the operating system at the top level of the hard disc. If you have more than one hard disc attached to the Mac hold down the Option (alt) key when the Mac starts up - this will open the Start Up Manager which enables you to switch the start up to another disc with a system folder. If you only have the one disc and the Mac is not finding the System folder you will need to reinstall the operating system from the installation discs.
