Answer:

Seven.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3-(-8)-(-2)

Using PEMDAS, we are working with only subtraction, which means we will be moving from the left to the right.

Let's start with -3-(-8)

At first it seems like -3-8, which would be -11, HOWEVER, this is incorrect, because it is -8, not 8.

When subtracting a negative number, like we are doing in this problem, it actually turns into addition.

Therefore, -3-(-8) becomes -3+8, which is 5.

After doing this, we have 5-(-2).

Again, we are subtracting a negative number, so in actuality you want to add it.

So instead of 5-(-2), we are actually doing 5+2, which is 7.

Therefore -3-(-8)-(-2) is 7.

Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.

What is the length of RS.
Natali [406]

Consider, in ΔRPQ,

RP = R (Radius of larger circle)

PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)

We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,

RP² = PQ²+RQ²

R² = r²+RQ²

RQ² = R²-r²

RQ = √(R²-r²

Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ

RS = 2√(R²-r²)
