<u>Answer</u>

C. 38

<u>Explanation</u>

The absolute value of any digit is the magnitude or its size. The negative side is not considered.

It can also be defined as the actual magnitude of a numerical value or measurement, irrespective of its relation to other values.

It is represented as; /x/.

The absolute value of -38 is /-38/.

∴ /-38/ = 38

Clare earned a total of $12 for 2 hours of yard work. How many hours in all will it take Clare

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$12 = 2hours

Find how much Clare was paid for one hour

Total money earned ÷ number of hours = wage per hour

12 ÷ 2 = $6 per hour

set up equation

6x = 18

This equation says 6 dollars an hour × number of hours = $18

To solve for this equation, divide both sides by 6 (this isolates the variable)

6x ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 6

1x = 3

x = 3

Prove the sum of two rational numbers is rational where a, b, c, and d are integers and b and d cannot be zero. Fill in the miss

mario62 [17]

Answer:

We conclude that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

Hence, the fraction will be a rational number. i.e.

$\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$ ∵ b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c, and d are integers.

Let a/b and c/d are two rational numbers and b≠0, d≠0

Proving that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}$

As the least common multiplier of b, d: bd

Adjusting fractions based on the LCM

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad}{bd}+\frac{cb}{db}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$

As b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

Therefore, we conclude that the sum of two rational numbers is rational.

Hence, the fraction will be a rational number. i.e.

$\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$ ∵ b≠0, d≠0, so bd≠0

A circle has the equation (x-2)^2+y^2=5. Whay are the coordinates of the circles center?

zloy xaker [14]

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

(x-2)^2 + (y-0)^2 = (rt(5))^2

-h = -2
h = 2

k=0

Center(2, 0)
