Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
As you might know, the two lines surrounding the -4 represent the absolute value, which is basically the distance from 0, and the distance is always positive. To clear any confusion, the absolute value of positive number will not be it's opposite because remember, distance is always positive, so absolute value is always positive (because it is basically the distance from zero).
To help, here is an example (that is not related to the problem!):
|-6| = 6
|6| = 6
<em>Now, back to the problem...</em>
Since you now know that the absolute value is always positive, |-4| would equal 4. So now you have:
4 - 8 + 10 = ???
From here, you can just solve and the answer is 6, so:
4 - 8 + 10 = 6
You final answer is 6.
Hope this helped somehow :D
Since the height is different on both ends, we can assume that the wall is a trapezoid. Knowing that, we can replace the measures we know in the formula and our onky variable is the length of the wall - we only need to isolate it.
A= ((b+B)h)/2
26.4=((2+2.4)h)/2
52.8=4.4h
h=12
Tara's Bedroom: A = lw
A = (9)(8)
A = 72 ft²
Jody's Bedroom: A = lw
A = (7)(10)
A = 70 ft²
Tara's bedroom has the greater area than Jody's bedroom.
5 is the y intercept.
-Always the number without the variable.
