to the left ot zero is negative
to the right of zero is positivee
the farther to the right you are, the bigger you are
the farther to the left you are,the smaller you are

-17 lol because it's a negative the "larger" the number is, the less it is on the scale between negatives and positives.

Show work and solve for √ ( 5 x − 9 ) − 1 = x.
Mandarinka [93]

sqrt (5x - 9) - 1 = x

sqrt(5x - 9) = x + 1

Square both sides:_

5x - 9 = x^2 + 2x + 1

x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x = 5 or -2.

Lets look for for any extraneous solutions:-

x = 5 ;  sqrt (5*5-9) - 1 = sqrt16 - 1 =  3  and  x = 3  (right hand side of equation)

so x = 5 is a solution

x = -2:  sqrt(5*-2 - 9) - 1 =  sqrt (-19) - 1  and x = -2  so this is extraneous

Answer:- One solution x = 5

In the expression -5g12 whIn the expression -5g12 which part is the coefficient?ich part is the base?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The coefficient is -5, and the base is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number that the variable is being multiplied by in an expression, so -5 would be the coefficient in the expression -5g_{12}. The base would be the little subscript number that is next to the variable, so the base in the expression -5g_{12} is 12.
