The substraction of a matrix b may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)b. dose the commutative law of addition permit us to atate that a - b = b - a? if not, how would you correct the statement?

 The corrected statement is A - B = -B + A.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the subtraction of a matrix B may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)B.

We are given to check whether the commutative law of addition permit us to state that A - B = B - A.

If not, We are to correct the statement.

If the subtraction A - B is considered a the addition A + (-B), then the commutative law should be stated as follows :

A + (-B) = (-B) + A.

That is, A - B = -B + A.

Thus, the corrected statement is A - B = -B + A, not B - A.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
