When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>
Answer:
John is currently 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 years ago: x years
Current time: x+2
In 6 years: x+8
EQUATION:
3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8
(subract x from both sides)
2x=8
x=4
Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time
Answer: I think Figure D and A are congruent
Step-by-step explanation: Remember: congruent means the same (in geometry) so if im wrong. Then you could figure out for yourself which ones look the same. Good luck
X - y = 7.....x = y + 7
x * y = 60
y(y + 7) = 60
y^2 + 7y = 60
y^2 + 7y - 60 = 0
(y + 12)(y - 5) = 0
y + 12 = 0
y = -12....not this one because it is negative
y - 5 = 0
y = 5 <===
x - y = 7
x - 5 = 7
x = 7 + 5
x = 12 <==
so ur 2 numbers are 12 and 5
26.17 is twenty-six and seventeen hundredths.
