If u r trying 2 find the absolute value of a positive number, the absolute value of it will not be a negative, it will always be a positive.

Answer:

⇒Absolute Value of a Number is always Positive , while the opposite of a number is finding the Additive inverse of a Number, that is they add to zero, when two opposite numbers are added.

|+x|=x, |+5|=5

|-x|=x, |-5|=5

And Opposite of 5 is -5 and Opposite of -5 is 5 because, -5+5=0 ,also, addition satisfies commutative Property, so (+5)+(-5)=0, will give same result.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1a) angle x and angle y are corresponding angles. Both angles lie on the same side of the transversal. Since the lines are parallel, the angles are equal.

1b) angle x and angle y are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. Since the lines are parallel, the angles are equal supplementary.

1c) angle x and angle y are corresponding angles. Both angles lie on the same side of the transversal. Since the lines are parallel, the angles are equal.

1d) angle x and angle y are alternate interior angles. They are between the parallel lines and alternate sides of the transversal. Since the lines are parallel, the angles are equal.

Solve by factoring<br> p² + 16p +64 = 0<br> i like highkey don’t know how to do this
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor, you just find two numbers that add to be the first number (16) and multiply to be the second number (64). 8 and 8 both do this. So when we factor, we also add the variable into each equation because it also has been divided into two equations, and we get: (p + 8)(p +8). Notice that the equations are "+8" and not "-8" because two +8s add to give us a +16 and multiply to give us a +64. After that, we just solve the two equations to find the solutions. Subtract 8 from each equation (we do the opposite operation because 8 is positive) to get -8. Because the answer for each equation is the same our answer is -8.

Countering a cost $9.40 per sales tax. After sales tax, it cost $9.87. What is the sales tax rate?
Nady [450]
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)

x= sales tax

Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers

$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87

9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides

9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40

x= 0.47/9.40

x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form


STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage

= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places

= 5% sales tax percent form


ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

Hope this helps! :)

a fabric store sells pieces of material for $5 each Ali bought two white pieces and 8 blue pieces she also bought a pack of butt
Murrr4er [49]
The term (2 + 8) is described as the total amount of pieces of fabric. It makes it easier to put this term this way so you wouldn't have to do (8 x 5) + (2 x 5) and do the distributive property.
