<h3>Answer: False</h3>

Here's a counter example to prove the statement to be incorrect

first number = 1

second number = -2

sum = 1 + (-2) = -1

difference = 1 - (-2) = 1 + 2 = 3

We see that the difference (3) is not smaller than the sum (-1)

For what value of x must ABCD be a parallelogram?<br><br> Picture below*

sesenic [268]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

BD is already given to you as bisected. AC must also be bisected. That means that 6x and 7x - 5 must the the same value. Then and only then will the figure be a parallelogram. (a four sided figure is a parallelogram if the 2 diagonals are bisected.

Equation

6x = 7x - 5 Subtract 6x from both sides

Solution

6x - 6x = 7x - 6x - 5 Simplify

0 = x - 5 Add 5 to both sides

5 = x - 5 + 5 Simplify

x = 5

Colin and Brian were playing darts. Colin scored 25. Brian scored 170 more than Colin. What was their combined score?

Elis [28]

Answer:

220

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that Colin scored 25 and Brian scored x ( x-unknown)

Since we know that Brian scored 170 more than Colin, Brian scored:

x = 25 + 170 = 195

Now we know that Colin scored 25 and Brian scored 195.

They together scored

25 + 195 = 220

Mary wants to find the area of the rectangle below.

jek_recluse [69]

So first find the area
area=legnth times width
area=5/6 times 1/6
5/6 times 1/6=5/36
area=5/36 square units

tile=side legnth 1/6
area of tile=legnth times width or legnth times legnth
1/6 times 1/6=1/36
we must find how many times 1/36 goes into 5/36
divide 5/36 by 1/36
5/36 divided by 1/36=5/36 times 36/1=5/1 times 36/36=5/1 times 1=5

the answer is 5 unit squares needed to tile
