<h3>Answer: 10</h3>

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive. So 2-(-8) is really 2+8 = 10.

With something like 2-8, we start at 2 and move to the left 8 units to arrive at -6 on the number line. When we do 2-(-8), we start at 2 and move 8 units in the opposite direction since -8 is the opposite of 8.

In terms of money, you can think of a negative number as an IOU or it represents the amount of debt. Writing -8 means you are 8 dollars in debt. If we subtract away debt, then we have less of it and effectively its the same as adding dollars to your pocket. Subtracting away 8 dollars of debt is the same as adding 8 dollars to your pocket, which is one interpretation of how 2-(-8) is the same as 2+8.

Trigonometry question
kykrilka [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

I will call the angle A.

we need to use cos, sine, and tangent here

cosine= adjacent over hypotenuse

sine = opposite over hypotenuse

tangent = opposite over adjacent

the angle A has x as the hypotenuse

and y is adjacent to the angle

cosine will be used

cos(A)= adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A)= 5/x

get x alone by using opposite signs

x and 5 are dividing. the opposite of division is multiplication , but in order to cancel 5 from the right side i need to multiply the reciprocal. 5 is on top, needs to be on bottom to cancel out

cos(A)*(1/5)= 5*(1/5x)

cos(A)/5=(1/x)

flip both sides to get x on top

(5/cos(A))=x

use calculator

and make sue it is in degrees

x=5.8 cm

For which values of x is the expression undefined?<br> x2 – 49<br> x2 – 16
Lyrx [107]

You meant to say x^2 - 49 and the second binomial is x^2 - 16.

x^2 - 49 = (x - 7) (x + 7).

Set each factor to 0 and solve for x individually.

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

x + 7 = 0

x = -7

Do the same for x^2 - 16.

Here is the set up:

x^2 - 16 = (x - 4) (x + 4).

Take it from here.
