Does -x always represent a negative number why or why not?
Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The expression -x represents the opposite of x, which is usually a negative number because it's moving in the opposite direction on the number line. But hey, if x happens to be 0, then -x would be 0 too. So technically, -x doesn't always have to be negative, but most of the time it is.
What is the sign of the result when the absolute value of an expression is taken?
When the absolute value of an expression is taken, the result is always non-negative. This means that the outcome will be either zero or a positive number, regardless of whether the original expression was negative or positive. The absolute value effectively removes any negative sign from the expression.
Is a positive number and a negative number will always be negative?
A positive number multiplied by a negative number will always result in a negative number.
What is a variable expression to represent the quotient of a number and 3?
A variable expression to represent the quotient of a number and 3 can be written as ( \frac{x}{3} ), where ( x ) represents the number in question. This expression indicates that the number ( x ) is being divided by 3.
Can one number represent an algebraic expression?
Yes it can
Explain why x does not necessarily represent a positive number?
x may not always represent a positive number because there are equations that make a variable a negative number

Is a positive number and a negative number will always be negative?
A positive number multiplied by a negative number will always result in a negative number.
How do you work out how to times a positive number by a negative number?
A positive number times a positive number will always get you a positive number A negative number times a negative number will always get you a positive number (same signs will get you a positive number) but A positive number times a negative number will always get you a negative number or A negative number times a positive number will always get you a negative number (different signs will get you a negative number)
Can one number represent an algebraic expression?
Yes it can
What is an expression for 20 times a number?
If x is used to represent the unknown number, then the expression for 20 times a number would be 20x.
HOW Can you use absolute to represent a negative number in a real-world situation?
use a absolute value to represent a negative number in the real world
Which magnitude is brighter a negative number or a positive number?
A positive number is brighter than a negative number. Brightness in astronomy is measured in magnitudes, where smaller (negative) magnitudes represent brighter objects. Positive magnitudes are assigned to dimmer objects.
What is the constant in a algebraic expression?
In an algebraic expression, a constant is a fixed numerical value that does not change. It contrasts with variables, which can represent different values. For example, in the expression (3x + 5), the number 5 is the constant, while (x) is the variable. Constants can be positive, negative, or zero.
When a negative number is subtracted from a positive number is the difference always positive?
Yes, a negative number subtracted from a positive number will always be positive. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the opposite of the negative number. The opposite of a negative number is always positive. A positive number plus a positive number is always positive.
When does a negative number plus a negative number equal a negative?
Always.
