Solve your equation step-by-step.

|x|−8=−5

Add 8 to both sides.

|x|−8+8=−5+8

|x|=3

Solve Absolute Value.

|x|=3

We know either x=3 or x=−3

x=3(Possibility 1)

x=−3(Possibility 2)

In general, what can you conclude about a pair of angles that are both congruent and supplementary?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Both angles are right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180°. Since we know that both angles are congruent, let's call them x and x. We can write the following equation:

x + x = 180

2x = 180

x = 90°

Therefore, we can conclude that both angles are right angles.

Line m passes through C(-2, 0) and D(1, -3). What is the equation of the line m in standard form?
Serga [27]
From general equation of a line;
y=mx+c
m=\frac{change in y}{change in x}
m=\frac{0--3}{-2-1}
m=-1
y=-x+c 
Finding value of c;
using point (-2,0)
0=-(-2)+c
c=-2
y=-x-2
