Answer: |3-(-8)|


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles west of the school.

From the picture , the number line represents the position of the houses of the two friends such that position of Paige is 3 but position of Diego is (-8) [since east and west are opposite directions]

We know that, Distance between any two points from A to B= B-A

Since distance is a positive quantity, thus

The distance between them = |3-(-8)| miles=11 miles

|3 - (-8)| is the correct answer.

That is because it simplifies to

3 + 8

That is because of the keep change flip

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST PLZ HELP
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a function f(x) and for a constant k

f(x+k) represents a horizontal translation for the function f(x) by k units in the negative-x direction.

Hence f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved left (negative x direction) by k units.

From the graph, we can see that g(x) = f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved 4 units in the negative x-direction.

hence K is simply 4 units.

Latrell bought 4 bags of powdered sugar. He got a total of 5 1/2 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar were in each bag?
Stels [109]
So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one?  well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}
