Find the sum of p and q if p = 34 and q = −114. Reduce your answer to lowest terms.
To find the sum of p and q, we simply add the two values together:
p + q = 34 + (-114)
Adding the numbers:
p + q = -80
The sum of p and q is -80.
Find the sum of p and q if p=3/4 and q=−11/4. Reduce your answer to lowest terms.
To find the sum of p and q, you simply need to add their values.
Given that p = 34 and q = -114, the sum of p and q is: p + q = 34 + (-114)
To calculate the sum, you can add the numbers as follows:
34 + (-114) = -80
Therefore, the sum of p and q, when reduced to lowest terms, is -80.
To find the sum of p and q, you simply need to add the values of p and q together.
The value of p is given as 34, and the value of q is given as -114. To add these values, you add 34 and -114:
p + q = 34 + (-114)
To add a positive number and a negative number, you subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number, and then give the result the sign of the larger number. In this case, the absolute value of 34 is larger than the absolute value of -114, so we subtract the absolute value of -114 from the absolute value of 34:
34 - |-114|
The absolute value of -114 is 114. So the calculation becomes:
34 - 114
Subtracting 114 from 34, we get:
-80
Therefore, the sum of p and q, reduced to lowest terms, is -80.
