Michael is using a number line to evaluate the expression –8 – 3. A number line going from negative 12 to positive 12. A point is at negative 8. After locating –8 on the number line, which step could Michael complete to evaluate the expression?

move to the left 3 more spaces

Step-by-step explanation:

you are at -8 already. Therefore, you (-3) more spaces, so you go to the left three more spaces. Use the saying keep change change to help with this.

Keep the first number sign, change the next sign, and the next sign.

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
