Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 adjacent negatives like we have here simplify to a +.

1 - (-3)

= 1 + 3

= 4.

The product of 2 negative values is always a positive for example:

-2 * -3 = 6.

We can look upon -1(-3) as a product of -1 and - 3 , giving +3.

I think of a number N. I add 5 to N and then multiply the answer by 3. The result is 84. What is the number N that l first thoug
Grace [21]
The answer is 26.33 repeating 
How you get that answer is
First do N times 3 
so the you have 3n + 5 = 84
minus 5 from both sides and then you get 3n = 79
divid both sides by 3 and then you get n = 26.33 reapting

What is the equation of a line that contains point (4, –3) and is PARALLEL to –4x + y = 7?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put -4x+y=7 into y=mx+b format

move -4x to the other side (or add 4x on both sides)

y=4x+7

now, parallel lines have the same slopes, but not the same y intercepts.

So, you already know the slope of your new line

y=4x+b

now we need to find b (y intercept)

take the point (4,-3) and put it into the equation above

-3=4(4)+b

-3=16+b

move 16 to the other side (or subtract 16)

-19=b

therefore the new line will be y=4x-19

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

  b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

  12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

__

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

  x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

  x = 28 1/3
