Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that DE is perpendicular to AC means triangles AED and CED are congruent and side AD is equal in length to side CD.
5x -20 = 2x +4
3x = 24 . . . . . . . add 20-2x
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3
The value of x is 8.
Subtract a number from the next number.
39 - 45 = -6
Answer: B. -6

Answer: -a > -b</h3>
Explanation:
Let's go over an example.
We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.
The corresponding opposites are: -a = -1 and -b = -7
The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b
Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.
In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
359 because you start with 100, then you multiply 50 x 359 which equals 17950. But then you are the hundred you had to start with to get 18050
