Yes because when you add a negative, its like subtracting. but when you subtract a negative it becomes a positive, so if you had 10-(-5) it would be the same as 10+5. In this situation, -10+(-5) is the same as -10-5 which makes it equal. Hope this helps.

Yes because they both equal -15 because you actually turn -10+(-5) into a subtraction problem because if there's a + and -, you actually turn it into a minus and the answer is -15.

Find the value of x.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

In the first problem, the value of x is 13.85

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. This allows us to use the length of the legs (a and b) to determine the length of the hypotenuse (c) .

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5.3^2 + 12.8^2 = c^2

28.09 + 163.84 = c^2

191.93 = c^2

13.85 = c
