Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To add a positive number, 5, and a negative number, -12, take the absolute value of both numbers.

You get 5 and 12.

Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.

12 - 5 = 7

The sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value. The absolute of 5 is 5. The absolute value of -12 is 12. -12 has the larger absolute value, and -12 is negative, so the answer is negative.

5 + (-12) = -7

Which equation is not a linear equation? Question options: a) –4v + 2w = 7 b) x4= y c) x = -5 d) 2x + 3y = 5
Semmy [17]

Answer: Option b

x^4= y

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations have the following form:

a_1x^n + a_2y^m + a_3w^s + a_4v^h = b

Where the exponents n, m, s and h are always 0 or 1

To know which equations are nonlinear, identify among the options given, those that have exponents other than 1 or 0

Note that in option b) the exponent of the variable x is n = 4 therefore the equation is nonlinear

Finally the answer is the option b

Y= x^2 -5 solve for x
dexar [7]

Y= x^2 -5

We need to solve for x, we need to get x alone

Y= x^2 -5

Lets start by removing -5

Add 5 on both sides

y + 5= x^2 -5 + 5

y + 5= x^2

Now to isolate x , we need to remove the square from x

To remove square , take square root on both sides

+-\sqrt{y+5} = \sqrt{x^2}

square and square root will get cancelled

+-\sqrt{y+5} = x

So x = +\sqrt{y+5} and  x = -\sqrt{y+5}

Solve for p.<br><br> 3p − 4 = 11<br><br><br> p = 7<br><br> p = -5<br><br> p = −3 <br><br> p = 5
Kobotan [32]
P=5 because the parenthesis mean multiplication, and when you multiply 3 times 5, you receive a product of 15. Then, 15-4 is 11, meaning that p=5.
