They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.

Absolute value means how many spaces away from zero a point is.

If a point is placed at |-17| then it means the point is either 17 spaces positive or negative.

Also, you might not be talking about graphing and in this case then the absolute value of anything is positive while a number alone is just that number.

Answer:

2 cups of apple juice

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get one cup of cranberry juice, you would need to add the ratio, 1/4, four times. Since for every 1/4 cup of cranberry juice there is 1/2 cup of apple juice, add 1/2 four times

1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 4/2 = 2 cups

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $AB=6$ units

$YZ=3$ units

$BC=8$ units

$XY=4$ units, then

$\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2$

2. $\angle B$ and $\angle Y$ are right angles - given

3. $\angle B\cong \angle Y$ two right angles are always congruent.

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX$ by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
