Plotting that point puts us at a y value of -5 (the y coordinate of the point P). y=-8 is a straight horizontal line through y=-8, so the distance from -5 to -8 is 3. Remember that distance is never negative. Distance is measured using the absolute value of the numbers. So b is your choice.
Answer:
cant be factored
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to the equation would be 21.5
Why?
If you do the equation backwards
30 - 8.5 = x
You would get 21.5
You can plug it into the first equation to check!
