Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're asked to determine the opposite of the following integer which is -3.

Think of the opposite of an integer in terms of a number line. The opposite of an integer is the same distance from zero as the original integer but on the opposite side of 0.

Since -3 is 3 units to the left of 0,

its opposite will be 3 units to the right of 0.

So the opposite of -3 is 3.

I have also shown my work on a number line on the whiteboard.

The opposite of -3 is positive 3. This is because the opposite of a negative is a positive.

Papa john is 50 years old. His age is 2 years more than 3 times the age of Jimmy John. How old is Jimmy?

Answer:

<h2>Jimmy is 16 old.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

J - the age of Jimmy John

50 - the age of Papa John

3J + 2 - the age of Papa John

The euaqtion:

3J + 2 = 50 subtract 2 from both sides

3J + 2 - 2 = 50 - 2

3J = 48 divide both sides by 3

3J/3 = 48/3

J = 16

These two triangles can be shown to be congruent using which transformation?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

This is B) A reflection over the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell this in a picture due to the fact that each point on the corresponding triangle is equidistant from the y-axis. Take the point at the bottom for instance. In both pictures, it is 2 spaces away from the y axis.

Which statements can be used to prove that ABC and A’B’C are congruent?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

O A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A identifies two angles (sufficient for similarity) and one side, sufficient (with similarity) for congruence. The applicable congruence theorem is AAS.

Option B identifies two sides and the angle not between them. The two triangles will be congruent in that case only if the angle is opposite the longest side, which is not true in general.

Option C same deal as Option A.

Option D identifies three congruent angles, which will prove the triangles similar, but not necessarily congruent.

HELP ASAP

We’ll subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, keeping the base the same. Cant be simplified, because the base of the expression in the numerator is y and the base of the expression in the denominator is x.
