Answer:
-40
-6
51
Step-by-step explanation:
-33+-7 you are adding two negatives
9+(-15) you are adding a negative to a positive which gets you closer to zero
5-(-46) you are subtracting a negative which is adding
31 is g = -19
32 is x = -9
34 is w = -11
31:
g-(-7) = -12
g+7 = -12
g = -19
32:
-5x = 45 divide by -5
x = -9
33 looks like it has a print error so I can’t figure that out, I don’t know where the |-2| is supposed to be
34:
(w-1)/4 = -3 multiply by 4
w - 1 = -12
w = -11

Answer:
The tallest truck that can pass under the overpass would be 9 feet in height
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be represented by an ellipse with a vertical major axis of the standard form:
(x-h)^2/b^2+(y-k)^2/a^2=1, a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
center: (0,0) (center line of road)
a=15 ft (height of overpass at center)
a^2=225
b=10 (1/2 the width of the road)
b^2=100
equation of ellipse:
x^2/100+y^2/225=1
The point at which a truck 16 ft wide would touch the overpass would have and x-coordinates �8 ft from center. Its y-coordinate is the answer to given problem.
Plug in x=8 ft in equation to solve for y.
8^2/100+y^2/225=1
y^2/225=1-64/100
y^2=225-225*64/100=81
y=9 ft
