Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

No.

The distance between 19 and 15 is 4. Both numbers are positive, 4 units apart.

The distance between -19 and -15 is also 4. Both numbers are negative, 4 units apart.

When you find the distance from 19 to -15, keep in mind that one number is positive, 19, and one number is negative, -15. The two numbers are on different side of zero on the number line.

Start at -15. -15 is 15 units to the left of zero. To get to 0, you need to go 15 units right. Now you need to go from 0 to 19. That is another 19 units right. Add 15 + 19 to get 34.

The distance from 19 to -15 on a number line is not 4. It is 34.

At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $2.00 each and neon tetras cost $2.15 each. If Ernesto bought 15 fish for a total cost o

bezimeni [28]

So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras

Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish

Answer:

<h3>Angle 6 = 101°</h3><h3>Angle 5 = 79°</h3><h3>Angle 7 = 79</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 6 will 101°

This is because we can see that Angle 4 is alternate interior angle to Angle 6 and alternate interior angles are always equal.

<h2>So angle 6 will be 101°</h2>

Angle 7 = 79°

Here we can see that Angle 6 and angle 7 are supplementary which means it has a measure of 180°

So the value of Angle 7 will be

$180 - 101 = 79$

<h2>Hence the measure of angle 7 will be 79°</h2>

Angle 5 = 79°

Angle 7 and Angle 5 is vertically opposite to each other and we know that vertically opposite angles are always equal so the measure will be 79°

<h3>Hence the measure of Angle 5 will be 79°</h3>

What is the distance between -7.5 and -15.3 on a number line

timama [110]

Okay. To find the distance apart from each other, subtract 15.3 and 7.5. When you do that, you should get 7.8. -7.5 and -15.3 are 7.8 units away on a number line.
