The absolute value is always positive:
For example, the absolute value of -5: | - 5 | = 5 and also the absolute value of 5 : | 5 | = 5
P = - 1 1/4
The absolute value of point P.
| P | = | - 1 1/4 | = 1 1/4
That answer I C. I hope this helps!!!!
If the scale factor is 1/5, then the area of the preimage is multiplied by <u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u> or <u>1</u><u>/</u><u>5</u> to calculate the area of the new image.
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
