In this question, we're trying to find the inequality that is true.
To find your answer, we can convert the numbers in the absolute value:
|−5| < 4:
5 < 4 <em>false</em>
|−4| < |−5|:
4 < 5 <em>true </em>
|−5| < |4|
5 < 4 <em>false</em>
|−4| < −5
4 < -5 <em>false</em>
The only true inequality here would be |−4| < |−5|, since it works with the inequality sign.
Answer:
|−4| < |−5|
Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
Answer:
the two numbers are 12 and -29
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two numbers be x and y
let the sum of the two numbers b
x+y = -17 ..................................................... equation 1
let the difference between the two numbers be
x-y = 41 ........................................................................ equation 2
from equation 1
x+y = -17 ..................................................... equation 1
x = -17 - y ............................................................... equation 3
substitute for x in equation 2
x-y = 41 ........................................................................ equation 2
-17-y -y = 41
-17 -2y = 41
-2y = 41 + 17
-2y = 58
divide both sides by -2
-2y/-2 = 58/-2
y = -29
put the value of y = -29 in equation 3
x = -17 - y ............................................................... equation 3
x = -17-(-29)
x =-17 + 29
x = 12
therefore the two numbers are 12 and -29
15-27b+11=-244
26-27b=-244
-27b=-270
b=10
Answer:
13.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of meters in a mile (1,609.344) by the number of seconds in an hour (3,600): 1,609.344 divided by 3,600 equals 0.44704. One mile per hour equals 0.44704 meters per second.
