4|m-n|<br> If m=-7 and n=2
Snowcat [4.5K]
You would first substitute -7 for m and 2 for n. It would look like this: 4| -7-2 | . we first solve the absolute value because it is the first step in PEMDAS or order of operations. -7-2 is equal to -9. Our equation should look like this now: 4 |-9| . we solve the absolute value portion, the absolute value of a negative number is the the same number but positive. the absolute value would be 9. (we just take the negative symbol off). we now have 4 x 9. This is equal to 36.

36 is the answer.

Help me please explain
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

x=6,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we know the 2 angles are congruent so you need to set them equal to each other. x^2+5x=7x+24. Then get the x's together so you subtract by 7x to get x^2-2x=24. You would then get 24 on the other side so subtract by 24 to get x^2-2x-24. You then would need to factor the equation out. The factored form would be (x-6)(x+4). Then set it equal to 0 to get 6 and -4.
