The answer is 2. because you need to do what’s in the parentheses first. so for the top, (17-12=5) then -8 x 5 = -40. so that’s the top. bottom, 8 - (-2) when you subtract a negative it becomes positive. so that is 10. now it’s -2 x 10. and final answer is -40/-20= 2. hope that helped

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-8(17-12)}{-2(8-(-2))}= \\\\\\\dfrac{-8(5)}{-2(10)}= \\\\\\\dfrac{-40}{-20}= \\\\\\2$

Hope this helps!

HERE ARE TWO NUMBER MACHINES A AND B

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$x=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write them both like functions like this

$A=5x-4$

$B=3x+8$

Where

x=input

A=Output A

B=Output B

We want the output of A 3 times the output of B this can be written like this:

$A=3B$

we replace with the functions

$5x-4=3(3x+8)$

we solve for x

$5x-4=9x+24\\5x-9x=24+4\\-4x=28\\x=\frac{28}{-4}\\x=-7$

The output that makes the out put of A 3 times teh output of B is $-7$

The midpoint of RS is M(1, 2). One endpoint is R(-6, 6). Find the coordinates of endpoint S.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The coordinates of point S are (8,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

Let

Point S(x2,y2)

substitute the given values

$(1,2)=(\frac{-6+x2}{2},\frac{6+y2}{2})$

<em>Solve for x2</em>

$1=(-6+x2)/2\\2=-6+x2\\x2=2+6=8$

<em>Solve for y2</em>

$2=(6+y2)/2\\4=6+y2\\y2=4-6=-2$

therefore

The coordinates of point S are (8,-2)
