Solve for x: −4|x + 5| = −16

1 answer:

3 0

-4 | x + 5 | = -16...divide both sides by -4, eliminating it on the left side
| x + 5 | = -16/-4
| x + 5 | = 4

x + 5 = 4 -(x + 5) = 4
x = 4 - 5 -x - 5 = 4
x = -1 -x = 4 + 5
-x = 9
x = -9

solutions : x = -1 , x = -9

Suppose △PKN≅△BGH△PKN≅△BGH. Which other congruency statements are correct? Select each correct answer. △NKP≅△HBG△NKP≅△HBG △KPN≅△

NeTakaya

Answer:

△NPK≅△HBG; and △KNP≅△GHB

Explanation:

Using the given congruence statement, we can determine corresponding pieces of the triangles:

P corresponds to B; K corresponds to G; and N corresponds to H.

This means that △NKP≅△HGB, not HBG.

△KPN≅△GBH, not BHG.

△NPK≅△HBG; this is correct.

△KNP≅△GHB; this is correct.
