The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]
Answer:
C x +2y=8
Step-by-step explanation:
x+2y=8
x-x +2y = 8 -x
2y=8 -x
2y/2= 8/2 -x/2
y= 4 -1/2x
y= -1/2x =4 is the final answer
so it would be c
, Two triangles are similar. Triangle ABC has side lengths of AB = 10, BC = 6, CA = 7. Triangle XYZ has a side length of XY = 8. Find YZ.
Answer: x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c)
<em>or</em> 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
Flip the sign and the placement of the fraction so 3/5 is less then 4/5.
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c) We need to change the denominators to a common denominator to compare the size of the two fractions:
×
= 
×
= 
The common denominators of the two fractions is 30. Comparing the two fractions:
<em>or</em> 
so we get:
<em>or</em>
