(3x − 5) − (4x + 6)

Pretend that there is a 1 in front of the first bracket.

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the second bracket.

Multiply the first bracket by 1

(1)(3x)=3x, (1)(-5)=-5

Multiply the second bracket by -1

(-1)(4)=-4, (-1)(6)=-6

3x-5-4x-6

3x-4x-5-6 ( combine like terms)

-x-11

Answer: -x-11 or -11-x

For absolute value, you are trying to figure out how many spaces it will take from that number to 0.

For example, if I was given the problem
| 3 |, I would ask myself "How do I get from 3 to 0? Since it takes you 3 spaces to get to 0, the answer will be 3. The same goes for any problem. If there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value, you add a negative to your answer.

hope that helps!

Answer:

width = 40 feet, length = 90 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 2w + 10

width = w

Perimeter = 260

Perimeter of rectangle = 2length + 2width

Sub the values into that equation:

260 = 2(2w + 10) + 2(w)

260 = 4w + 20 + 2w

260 = 6w + 20

260 - 20 = 6w

240 = 6w

w = 240/6

w = 40

So now we know the width of the garden is 40 feet.

To find the length, substitute the width into the length equation:

length = 2w + 10

length = 2(40) + 10

length = 90 feet

length = 90 feet, width = 40 feet

Solve the system of equations.<br> ​ 7x−3y=20<br> y=5x−4<br> x=<br> y=<br> ​
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute the value of y in the first equation.

7x-3(5x-4)=20

7x-15x+12=20

-8x=20-12

x=8/-8

x= -1

then you substitute the value of x on the y equation to find y

y=5×-1 -4

y= -5-4

y= -9
