If an equation is in absolute value symbols, the answer is always positive. So this equation has no real solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply -3 by 4 and then multiply the result of that by 5, or you could write -3, 4 and 5 in other orders (6 possible orders) and obtain the same result.
I would multiply (-3) by 4, obtaining -12, and then multiply this -12 by 5, obtaining -60. But I could also multiply 5 by 4, obtaining 20, and then multiply this 20 by -3, obtaining the same -60.
What I have described here are the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.
The formula of an area of a rectangle:
A = wl
We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.
Substitute:
w(w - 4) = 21 <em>use distributive property</em>
(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21
w² - 4w = 21 <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>
w² - 4w - 21 = 0
w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0
w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0
(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0
w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0
l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3
<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>
(₋4)²
how i got it -
1st i used the sum-product pattern
x² - 8x + 16
x² -4-4+16
then, found the common fact from the two pairs
x² - 4 - 4 + 16
(-4) - 4(-4)
rewrite in factored form
(x-4)-4(-4)
(-4) (-4)
combine to a square
(-4) (-4)
