The sum p ( _q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.

Answer 1

The sum p ( _q) is simply the number obtained by subtracting the absolute value of q from p, in the negative direction.

Mathematically, we can represent it as:

p ( _q) = p - |q|

For example, let's say p = 10 and q = 5. The distance |q| from p in the negative direction would be -5. Therefore, the sum p ( _5) would be 10 - 5 = 5.

Answer 2

The sum p _( _q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let me correct it.

The sum p _( _q) is the number obtained by subtracting the absolute value of q from p in the negative direction.

Mathematically, we can represent it as:

p _( _q) = p - |q|

For example, let's say p = 10 and q = 5. The distance |q| from p in the negative direction would be -5. Therefore, the sum p _( _5) would be 10 - 5 = 5.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the sum p(_q), which is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction, follow these steps:

1. Start with the number p.
2. Move |q| units in the negative direction from p.
3. The resulting number is the sum p(_q).

For example, if p = 5 and q = 3:

1. Start with the number 5.
2. Move 3 units in the negative direction from 5: 5 - 3 = 2.
3. Therefore, the sum p(_q) is 2.

Remember, the result may be positive or negative depending on the values of p and q.
