Answer:

2 positive * 1 negative = negative

2 negative * 1 positive = positive

Step-by-step explanation:


one positive and 2 negative

(+ * -) * - =

positive times negative = negative * negative = positive

(+ * -) * -  = +

now if we change the order by putting parenthesis

+ *( - * -)

negative time negative = positive

+ * (+) = positive

the result is positive


The result does not change because of where we put the parentheses.


- * + * + =

negative  times positive = negative

negative * positive= negative

- * + * + =  negative

The order does not matter

Find the values for x and y.
vivado [14]
Both sides need to equal 180 (The side with the 90 degrees measurement and the side with equations). So first subtract 180 from 90
180 - 90
to get the measurement of 5x and you get 90 but we aren't done yet since we need to find x so now we need to divide 5 by 90
90 \div 5 = 18
and we get 18 which is X.
x = 18
Now we need to find the measurement of Y. Now both angles on that side together equals 180 so we need this equation.
5(y + 11) + 4y - 10 = 180
First, distribute 5(y + 11)
5 \times y \\ 5 \times 11
Then you get this equation :
5y + 55 + 4y - 10 = 180
Now, add the two equations together
5y + 55 + 4y - 10
and you get this equation

9y + 45 = 180
Now subtract 45 from both sides
9y + 45 - 45 = 180 - 45
and divide by 9 on both sides
9y \div 9 = 135 \div 9
and you get your answer
y = 15

So
x = 18
and
y = 15

What is the length of segment AC?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length we can use the formula

d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)

We have the two points (-5,5) and (3,-1)

d = sqrt( (-1-5)^2 + (3--5)^2)

d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (3+5)^2)

d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (8)^2)

d = sqrt( 36 + 64)

d = sqrt(100)

d = 10
