Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

9-(-8)=20             given

9+8=20                the two negatives cancel out, making the eight positive

17=20                   this statement is not correct, so the answer is no solution

no solution

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be a variable in there somewhere, but I did my best to explain. Hope this helps!

Test each statement below to see if it is reversible. If so, write it as a true biconditional. If not, write not reversible
FinnZ [79.3K]
Statement: Complementary angles are two angles with measures that have a sum of 90.
Reverse: Two angles with measures that have a sum of 90 are complementary angles.

Here the reverse is true, therefore, the statement is true biconditional.

Statement: A rectangle is a four-sided figure with at least one right angle.
Reverse: A four sided figure with at least one right angle is a rectangle.

Here, the reverse is not true, therefore, the statement is not reversible.

whatever number is next to x, like say, 3x, that number would be the slope, so it would be 3.
