Rational numbers are the numbers that can be written as the fraction of two integers and absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0. If we look at a number line, the absolute value is the distance any number on the number line is away from 0. Distance is always positive, so our absolute value is always 0.
Answer:
x=18, y= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
if x+y=24
x= 24- y
in second case
x= 3y
24_ y = 3y
24=4y
y= 6
hence x = 24 _6 = 18
Combine like terms: 18a - 8b -1
Answer:
DE = 13.4 cm (to 1 decimal place)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ABCD is a square
BC = AC = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
E is midpoint of BC (given)
BE = EC = 12/2 = 6 cm
CD = AB = 12 cm (opposite sides of a square are congruent)
angle ECD is a right angle (interior angles of a square are 90 deg.)
Consider right triangle ECD
DE = sqrt(EC^2+CD^2) ............. pythagorean theorem
= sqrt(6^2+12^2)
= sqrt ( 36+144 )
= sqrt (180)
= 2 sqrt(45)
= 13.416 (to three dec. places)
