Answer:

m = -j, or in this case, m=-(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Justine's score is represented by j and Meagan's score is represented by m, we know that j will always be the opposite of m.

To represent opposite, we put a negative sign before the variable.

This makes the current number, even if it's negative, the opposite value.

Let's test it out.

Since Justine's score is -7, substituting it into the equation makes it  m=-(-7). We know that two negatives make a positive, so m=7.

Now let's assume Justine's score is 7. Plugging it into the equation, we get m=-(7). That's the same thing as m = -1(7), and -1 times 7 is -7.

Hope this helped!

Find the value of x. If​ necessary, write your answer in the simplest radical form.
Paul [167]

Answer:

x = 4\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 1² = 9²

x² + 1 = 81 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x² = 80 ( take square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{80} = \sqrt{16(5)} = \sqrt{16} × \sqrt{5} = 4\sqrt{5}
