Find the sum of p and q if p=34 and q=−114. Reduce your answer to lowest terms.(1 point)
Skip to navigation
The sum of p and q is p + q = 34 + (-114) = -80.
To reduce this fraction to lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
So, -80 can be reduced to -40/2 = -40.
Therefore, the sum of p and q reduced to lowest terms is -40/1.
are you correct
To find the sum of p and q, you simply add the two values together.
So, p + q = 34 + (-114).
Adding these values, we get:
p + q = -80.
To reduce the answer to lowest terms, there isn't anything to simplify or reduce because -80 is already in its simplest form.
To find the sum of p and q, you simply need to add the values of p and q together. Given that p is 34 and q is -114, you can add them as follows:
p + q = 34 + (-114)
When adding positive and negative numbers, you can think of it as subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. So in this case, you can subtract 114 from 34:
34 - 114 = -80
Therefore, the sum of p and q is -80. In order to reduce the answer to lowest terms, we can leave it as is because -80 is already in its simplest form.
