To subtract a negative number from one you will need to set it up like this

1- (-x) x equals the negative number you're talking about

so we use the method KCC (keep change change)

So we KEEP the positive one, CHANGE the subtraction sign in to a plus sign "+" then CHANGE the negative number to a positive

lets say the negative number is 2

1-(-2)

1+ (+2)

1+2 = 3

when you subtract a negative number from any platitude number the equation changes to addition so you would add the value of the negative number to 1.

Jack is mixing red paint with blue paint to make purple paint. he adds 2/5 of a fluid ounce of red to 11/15 of a fluid ounce of

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 2/5 to a decimal

2/5 = 0.4

Change 1 2/15 of a fluid ounce to a decimal.

1.133333

Set up your proportion.

0.4 / 1.133333 = x / 5 Cross multiply

0.4*5 = 1.133333*x

2 = 1.133333 x Divide by 1.1333333

2/1.33333 = x

x = 1.5 ounces.

He needs 1.5 ounces of red to make 5 ounces of purple.

Please help me I’m super confused on this problem!

Lorico [155]

Answer:

m < amc = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

< amb and < bmc are complementary angles whose sum equals 90°.

Therefore, to find the value of 2x°, we must first solve for x.

We can establish the following equality statement:

< amb + < bmc = < amc

< 2x° + (x + 9)° = 90°

Combine like terms:

2x° + x° + 9° = 90°

3x° + 9° = 90°

Subtract 9 from both sides:

3x° + 9° - 9° = 90° - 9°

3x = 81°

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = 81°/3

x = 27°.

Since x = 27°, substitute its value into 2x° to find m < amc:

2x° = 2(27°) = 54°

Therefore, m < amc = 54°

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Not all tiles will be used.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

# x² + y² - 4x + 12y - 20 = 0 ⇒ (x - 2)² + (y + 6)² = 60

# 3x² + 3y² + 12x + 18y - 15 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = 18

# 2x² + 2y² - 24x - 16y - 8 = 0 ⇒ (x - 6)² + (y - 4)² = 56

# x² + y² + 2x - 12y - 9 = 0 ⇒ (x + 1)² + (y - 6)² = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the problem to solve it

- Use the terms of x and y in the general form to find the standard form

∵ x² + y² - 4x + 12y - 20 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ -4x ÷ 2 = -2x ⇒ x × -2

∴ (x - 2)²

- Use the term y term

∵ 12y ÷ 2 = 6y ⇒ y × 6

∴ (y + 6)²

∵ (-2)² + (6)² + 20 = 4 + 36 + 20 = 60

∴ x² + y² - 4x + 12y - 20 = 0 ⇒ (x - 2)² + (y + 6)² = 60

∵ x² + y² + 6x - 8y + 10 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ 6x ÷ 2 = 3x ⇒ x × 3

∴ (x + 3)²

- Use the term y term

∵ -8y ÷ 2 = -4y ⇒ y × -4

∴ (y - 4)²

∵ (3)² + (-4)² - 10 = 9 + 16 - 10 = 5

∴ x² + y² + 6x - 8y + 10 = 0 ⇒ (x + 3)² + (y - 4)² = 5 ⇒ not in answer

∵ 3x² + 3y² + 12x + 18y - 15 = 0 ⇒ divide all terms by 3

∴ x² + y² + 4x + 6y - 5 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ 4x ÷ 2 = 2x ⇒ x × 2

∴ (x + 2)²

- Use the term y term

∵ 6y ÷ 2 = 3y ⇒ y × 3

∴ (y + 3)²

∵ (2)² + (3)² + 5 = 4 + 9 + 5 = 18

∴ 3x² + 3y² + 12x + 18y - 15 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = 18

∵ 5x² + 5y² - 10x + 20y - 30 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x² + y² - 2x + 4y - 6 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ -2x ÷ 2 = -x ⇒ x × -1

∴ (x - 1)²

- Use the term y term

∵ 4y ÷ 2 = 2y ⇒ y × 2

∴ (y + 2)²

∵ (-1)² + (2)² + 6 = 1 + 4 + 6 = 11

∴ 5x² + 5y² - 10x + 20y - 30 = 0 ⇒ (x - 1)² + (y + 2)² = 11 ⇒ not in answer

∵ 2x² + 2y² - 24x - 16y - 8 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x² + y² - 12x - 8y - 4 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ -12x ÷ 2 = -6x ⇒ x × -6

∴ (x - 6)²

- Use the term y term

∵ -8y ÷ 2 = -4y ⇒ y × -4

∴ (y - 4)²

∵ (-6)² + (-4)² + 4 = 36 + 16 + 4 = 56

∴ 2x² + 2y² - 24x - 16y - 8 = 0 ⇒ (x - 6)² + (y - 4)² = 56

∵ x² + y² + 2x - 12y - 9 = 0

- Use the term x term

∵ 2x ÷ 2 = x ⇒ x × 1

∴ (x + 1)²

- Use the term y term

∵ -12y ÷ 2 = -6y ⇒ y × -6

∴ (y - 6)²

∵ (1)² + (-6)² + 9 = 1 + 36 + 9 = 46

∴ x² + y² + 2x - 12y - 9 = 0 ⇒ (x + 1)² + (y - 6)² = 46

Which answer choice is a solution to the inequality 1.5x + 3.75≥5.5

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$x \geq \frac{7}{6}$

The value of x is greater than or equal to 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.5x + 3.75\geq 5.5$

Solve the inequality for x

Subtract 3.75 from both sides

$1.5x + 3.75\geq 5.5$

$1.5x \geq 1.75$

Now divide both sides by 1.5

$x \geq \frac{1.75}{1.5}$

Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 0.25

$x \geq \frac{7}{6}$

The value of x is greater than or equal to 7/6
