Ava used the following equation in order to solve a math problem involving integers.

-h/-k = j

If the equation Ava used is correct, which of the following equations is not correct?

A) - j = -h/k
B) - j = -h/-k
C) - j = h/-k
D) j = h/k

Respuesta :

Answer:

The only equation which is incorrect is in option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eva used the following equation in order to solving integers, which is  

[tex]\frac{-h}{-k} = j[/tex]

[tex]j = \frac{h}{k}[/tex] ......... (1)

Now, if the equation Ava used is correct, then we have to find which of the given equations is not correct.

Now, in option A) it is given that [tex]- j = \frac{- h}{k}[/tex]

[tex]j = \frac{h}{k}[/tex] which is same as equation (1).

In option B) it is given that [tex]- j = \frac{- h}{- k}[/tex]

[tex]j = - \frac{h}{k}[/tex] which is not same as equation (1).

In option C) it is given that [tex]- j = \frac{h}{- k}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]j = \frac{h}{k}[/tex] which is same as equation (1).

Again, in option D) it is given that [tex]j = \frac{h}{k}[/tex]

[tex]j = \frac{h}{k}[/tex] which is same as equation (1).

Therefore, the only equation which is incorrect is in option B. (Answer)
