Question

The value of x is negative. What must be true about 10-x? Explain.

Answer 1

The answer must be positive.  Let's say that X = -10.

10-(-10)

The negatives cancel leaving us with a positive number.  Thus every number that X can be will result in a positive answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

the value of x makes the value of the expression positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x is negative.

$10-x$

For example lets take x= -5

Plug in -5 for x in $10-x$

$10-(-5)$, negative times negative becomes positive

$10+5=15$

When the value of x is negative then the value of the expression becomes positive.
