Suppose y is a positive integer. If x-(-y) = z, will z be greater than, or less than x?

Answer

Z would be greater than x

Step-by-step explanation:

5 < 13

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
