It depends upon the numbers...If both are negative numbers, then you change the value of the second number and add them. For example:
(-3) - (-6) = (-3) + 6 = 3.

(-7) - (-4) = (-7) + 4  = -3

So, it depends on the second numbers sign.

I hope this answer helped you :)

Am I correct? (Perfect Square Form)
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(x -3 )^2 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^2 - 6x - 1 = 0

Required: Express as a perfect square

x^2 - 6x - 1 = 0

Add 10 to both sides

x^2 - 6x - 1 +10= 0+10

x^2 - 6x +9= 10

Expand

x^2 - 3x  - 3x+9= 10

Factorize:

x(x - 3) - 3(x  - 3)= 10

Factorize:

(x -3 )(x - 3) = 10

(x -3 )^2 = 10

The height of the sail on a boat is 7 feet less than 3 times the length of its base. If the
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Base=8 feet

Height=17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Base=x

Height=3x-7

Area=68 square feet

Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height

68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)

Cross product

68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)

136 = 3x^2 - 7x

3x^2 - 7x - 136=0

Using quadratic formula

x= -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a

= -(-7) +or- √(-7)^2 - (4)(3)(-136) / 2(3)

= 7 +or- √49 - (-1632) / 6

= 7 +or- √49+1632) / 6

= 7 +or- √1681 / 6

=7 +or- 41 /6

x= 7+41 / 6 or 7-41 / 6

=48/6 or -34/6

=8 or -17/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Base=x

Height=3x-7

Area=68 square feet

Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height

68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)

Cross product

68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)

136 = 3x^2 - 7x

3x^2 - 7x - 136=0

Base of the boat can't be a negative value

Therefore,

Base = x = 8 feet

Height= 3x-7

=3(8)-7

=24-7

=17 feet
