|-5| is greater than |-2| because |-5| is 5 and |-2| is 2 and 5 is greater than 2.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
2x < 16 - 6x
Bring the variables to one side
2x < 16 - 6x
+6x +6x
8x < 16
Divide both sides by the coefficient
8x/8 < 16?8
x < 2
from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.
likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so
![\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=8.5\\ a=24.3\\ b=9.7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{8.5(24.3+9.7)}{2}\\\\ A=\cfrac{8.5(34)}{2}\implies A=144.5~in^2 \end{array}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20a%20trapezoid%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7Bh%28a%2Bb%29%7D%7B2%7D~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20h%3Dheight%5C%5C%20a%2Cb%3D%5Cstackrel%7Bparallel~sides%7D%7Bbases%7D%5C%5C%5B-0.5em%5D%20%5Chrulefill%5C%5C%20h%3D8.5%5C%5C%20a%3D24.3%5C%5C%20b%3D9.7%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bllll%7D%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7B8.5%2824.3%2B9.7%29%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7B8.5%2834%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20A%3D144.5~in%5E2%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D)
Answer:
10x+4b+3
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+b+b+b+b+3
There are 10 x
4 b
and one number
10x+4b+3
Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form:
Y -6 = -3(x - -8)
Use the distributive property on the right side first:
Y -6 = -3x -24
Add 6 to both sides
Y = -3x -18
The slope is the number in front of the x variable.
Slope = -3
