The mean is the same thing as the average. To find the average, add all the numbers up (aka find the sum of the numbers) and divide by how many numbers there is:
So the sum of your numbers is: -6 + 2 + 5 + -7 + -11 + -6 = -23. And there are 6 numbers total.
That means average =
≈ -3.8
Your final answer is -3.8
The opposite of the fraction one third would be negative one third. To be opposite, they must have differing signs. One number should be positive and the other number should be negative. It is different from reciprocal. To be a reciprocal, <span>one number should be the flipped fraction, or upside down version, of the other number.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtraction is not commutative. For example, 4 − 7 does not have the same difference as 7 − 4. The − sign here means subtraction.
However, recall that 4 − 7 can be rewritten as 4 + (−7), since subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. Applying the commutative property for addition here, you can say that 4 + (−7) is the same as (−7) + 4. Notice how this expression is very different than 7 – 4.
