Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m

akes sense because its easier to work with smaller numbers. However, after that the negative signs swapped. Why does this happen? I remember switching signs years ago when I learned it but now I can't remember the rule as to why. Thank you so much.

Answer:

That's optional

Step-by-step explanation:

Dealing with positive numbers is simpler that's why the equation was divided by -3.

Nonetheless, you can use:

-6x² - 5x + 1 = 0 too

You will get the same answer

D = (-5)² - 4(-6)(1)

D = 25 + 24 = 49

x = [-(-5) +/- sqrt(49)]/(2×-6)

x = [5 +/- 7]/(-12)

x = -2/-12 = ⅙

x = 12/-12 = -1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".

Determine the value of z in the figure answers: z = 50° z = 45° z = 10° z = 30°
ycow [4]

Answer:

z = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two sides are equal, the two base angles have to be equal

That means that 5z and 130 form a straight line and add to 180 degrees

5z+130 = 180

Subtract 130 from each side

5z = 50

Divide by 5

5z/5 = 50/5

z=10

Harper knows he is 50 yards from school. The map on his phone shows that the school is 2/3 inch from his current location. How f
lorasvet [3.4K]

Actual distance of the Harper from the school = 50 yards.

According to map the distance from the school = 34 inch.

We could say 34 inches represents 50 yards.

So, 1 inches could be represented by 50/34 = 25/17 yards.

In order to find the actual length of 3 inches in yards, we need to multiply 1 inches value of yards by 3.

Therefore, 3 inches = 3* 25/17 = 75/17 = 4 7/17 yeards in decimals 4.412 yards approximately.

Therefore,  Harper from home is  4 7/17 yeards or 4.412 yards approximately if the map shows the distance as 3 inches.

Equation with angles can someone help me please
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

x = 33/3 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are corresponding angles and are therefore equal.

Thus, A = 8x - 8 = B = 5x + 25, or

                    3x          =      33

and so x = 33/3 = 11
