For absolute value, you are bassically going to take the numbers in the absolute value brackets if you will and work with them. so -5 + -2, its the same as -5-2 which is -7. absolute value will make this positive. so your answer should be 7

How do I solve for x?

NISA [10]

Write and solve an equation of ratios based upon the fact that the small and large triangles shown are similar:

5 6
---- = ---------
14 6 + x

Then 30 + 5x = 84, and 5x = 54, and so x = 54/5, or 10.8, or 10 4/5.

Anit [1.1K]

4x^2+6x=12
16x+6x=12
22x=12
x=12/22 or 0.55

The decimal is rounded to the nearest hundreth

There are 46 children going to a party. 18 will wear black costumes, 12 will wear orange costumes and some will wear both black

The number of children who wore both orange and black will be 8.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

PEMDAS rule means for the Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This rule is used to solve the equation in a proper and correct manner.

There are 46 children going to a party. 18 will wear black costumes, 12 will wear orange costumes and some will wear both black and orange.

Then the number of children who wear costumes and black & orange. Then we have

⇒ 46 - 18 - 12

⇒ 46 - 30

⇒ 16

Half of the guests will go in costumes that are neither black nor orange. Then we have

⇒ 16 / 2

⇒ 8

Then the number of the children who orange and black will be

⇒ 16 - 8

⇒ 8

The number of children who wore both orange and black will be 8.

An architect plans to make a drawing of the room of a house. The segment LM represents the ceiling of the room. He wants to cons

Alisiya [41]

A line segment LM is drawn. Two arcs equidistant from L on line LM are drawn at points P and T. A point Q is just above L. A compass is fixed at point Q and is shown making an arc at T.
You draw arcs centered at P and T, such that they intersect above and below L. Note that the arcs must have radius greater than LT=LP.

I get the feeling that Q is where the arcs intersect above L, so the intersection below L (at, say, S) means that QS is perpendicular to LM. 

Incidentally, constructing LM does not really fit the bill to start with, since either P or T must be beyond the line segment. What it should say is that points L and M are marked on a line extending beyond LM.
