To determine who is correct, let's analyze the statements made by Carlos and Seth with respect to the value of -62.
1. Carlos states that -62 is -36.
2. Seth states that -62 is 36.
The value of -62 is a negative number.
- Carlos's assertion that -62 is -36 is incorrect because -62 and -36 are not the same; -62 is a smaller number (more negative) than -36.
- Seth's assertion that -62 is 36 is also incorrect because -62 is a negative number, while 36 is positive. They are not equivalent.
Therefore, both Carlos and Seth are incorrect in their statements about the value of -62.
