Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of a number (x) and 4 is written x/4. 56 less than that is ...

(x/4) -56

The problem statement tells us the value of this is -52, so we have ...

(x/4) -56 = -52

Add 56 to both sides of this equation, and you get ...

x/4 = 4

Multiply both sides of this equation by 4 and you get ...

x = 16

The value of the unknown number is 16.

Explain the distance formula. Then use it to calculate the

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$dAB=10\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distance formula</u> is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

A(1, 1) and B(7, −7)

Let

(x1,y1)=A(1, 1)

(x2,y2)=B(7, −7)

substitute the given values in the formula

$dAB=\sqrt{(-7-1)^{2}+(7-1)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{64+36}$

$dAB=\sqrt{100}$

$dAB=10\ units$
