Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other

Answer: 128
</em><em>Why?
</em><em>______________________________________________________________
To find the volume of a cylinder, we have to use the formula lwh/3. The length is 8, width is 4, and height is 12. So we have to multiply all of those together, then divide by 3. (8 * 4 = 32) -> (32 * 12 = 384) -> (384/3 = 128) The volume is 128.

Well I'm assuming you mean percent by o/o
Percentages are out of a hundred so you would write it 228/100
The given pair of lines are not perpendicular.
<h3>What is a line?</h3>
The line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.
5x - 5y = -2 - - - - - (1)
Transform the equation into standard form,
5x + 2 = 5y
y = 5x /5 + 2/5
y = x + 2/5
The slope of equation 1 is 
and intercept c = 2 / 5
Similarly
x + 2y = 4 - - - - - - - -(2)
Transform it into standard form
y = -x/2 + 4 /2
y = -x / 2 + 2
Slope of the equation 2 
= -1 / 2 and intercept c = 2
Slope of line 1 * slope of line 2 = 1 * -1/2 = -1/2
Since the lines are not perpendicular because the pair of lines does not satisfy the property of perpendicular lines i.e
Thus, the given pair of lines are not perpendicular.

Answer:
This would mean 3x=5
so to isolate the x, we divide 5 by 3
and get x=5/3
