Answer: Choice D. 15 - (-18)

This results in 15 - (-18) = 15 + 18 = 33.

So from -18 to 15 on a number line is 33 spaces.

We can also say

|-18 - 15| = |-33| = 33

The use of absolute value is to ensure the distance is never negative.

In order for the parallelogram to be a square x = ?

yanalaym [24]

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation: In order for a parallelogram to be a square, the angles at the corners must be 90 degrees, and the diagonals that bisect the corner angles must be 45 degrees.

4x + 17 = 45 Subtract 17 from both sides.

4x = 28 Divide both sides by 4

x = 7

What is 5c + 12d - 6 ? (simplifying algebraic expression)

g100num [7]

The answer should be the same as the question. 5c + 12d -6 is the answer because to simplify,you collect like tersm yet none of these terms are alike to each other ( different variable and exponent) therefore the answer is 5c+12d-6

Can someone solve this for me please.

Answer:

The value of PR is 21 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
PQ = 7 ft.
QT = 4 ft
RS = 12 ft.

Work:

3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
=> 3(7 + 4 + TP) = PR + 12 + SP
=> 21 + 12 + 3TP = PR + 12 + SP
=> 21 + 3TP = PR + SP
=> 21 + SP = PR + SP [3TP = SP]
=> 21 = PR

Hence, the value of PR is 21 ft.

Hoped this helped.
