We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

Find the distance between points p(8, 2) and q(3, 8) to the nearest tenth.

grandymaker [24]

Distance between two points, d, is given by
$d= \sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2} }
$
where: (x1, y1) = (8, 2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 8)
$d= \sqrt{ ( 3 - 8) ^{2} + (8 - 2) ^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (-5)^{2} + 6^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{25+36} \\ d= \sqrt{61} \\ d=7.8 \ units$

How many soultions does 5(x-3)+6=5x-9

olya-2409 [2.1K]

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9 has no solution

Solution:

We have to find the number of solutions for the given equation

Given equation is:

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9

Multiply the terms inside with bracket with constant outside the bracket

5x - 15 + 6 = 5x - 9

Add the constants in left hand side of equation

5x - 9 = 5x - 9

If the coefficients are the same on both sides, then the sides will not equal, therefore no solutions will occur.

Here, 5x - 9 = 5x - 9

The coefficients are same in both sides of equation

Therefore, the equation has no solution
