<em>ANSWER:</em>

<h2>-15</h2>

<em>STEP:</em>

Absolute signs are signs that tell the number away from 0. So the absolute number cannot be negative. |x| = x. You don't know if the number was positive or negative. |-x|. |-x| is x since it tells it's x away from 0. -|x| is -x. Since the negative sign isn't in the absolute signs, you keep it as -15.

Hope this helps :D

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative is outside of the absolute value signs/lines. The absolute value is how far the number is from 0. So, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a negative sign inside of the absolute value lines it will always be positive. But, if it's outside of it, then it will be negative.

what is the smallest number of degrees needed to rotate a regular Pentagon around its center onto itself?
Alex
One rotation has 360 degrees. Since regular Pentagon has 5 sides and each of them takes 360/5=72 degrees when looked from center, if we rotate regular Pentagon by 72 degrees we will get same shape as we started from.

Therefore answer is 72 degrees.

Answer:

  • 1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sides of the picture added margin:</u>

  • l = 8 + 2x
  • w = 5 + 2x
  • A(margin) = 30 cm²

<u>Solution</u>:

  • A(margin) = Total area - A(picture)
  • (8 + 2x)(5 + 2x) - 5*8 = 30
  • 4x² + 10x + 16x + 40 - 40 - 30 = 0
  • 4x² + 26x - 30 = 0
  • 2x² + 13x - 15 = 0
  • x = (-13 + √(13² + 2*4*15))/4
  • x = (-13 + 17)/4
  • x = 1 cm

Note. The other root is ignored as negative.
