Step-by-step explanation:
y=-1
-1 + 4 = 3
y = x - 6
-1 - 6= -7
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
BC = AD (opposite sides in parallelogram is equal)
x + 8 = 2x + 1
8 - 1 = 2x - x
7 = x
x = 7
BC = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15

Answer:
(a) -7, (b) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When x = 0,
=> x² - 8x - 7
=> (0)² - 8(0) - 7
=> 0 - 0 - 7
=> - 7
b) When x = -1,
=> x² - 8x - 7
=> (-1)² - 8(-1) - 7
=> 1 + 8 - 7
=> 9 - 7
=> 2

Here's the rule for working with these things:
There are 3 signs associated with a fraction:
=> the sign of the numerator
=> the sign of the denominator
=> the sign of the whole fraction; (if the fraction were in
parentheses, this sign would be written outside).
-- You can change any 2 of them without changing the value of the fraction.
-- Changing any 1 of them changes the effective sign.

Now, you said the fraction is negative.
So, let's start with the positive fraction, and see the different ways
that we could make it a negative fraction:
=> mark only the numerator negative
=> mark only the denominator negative
=> put parentheses around the fraction, and mark it negative outside
If you do any one of these things to a normal positive fraction,
it turns into a negative fraction.
Look at the choices you listed in the question:
-- in the numerator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- in the denominator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- both ? No. That makes it the same as a positive fraction.
-- put parentheses around the fraction, and a negative sign outside ?
Yes. This makes it a negative fraction.
-- it doesn't matter ? No. I hope you can see that it does matter.
Have I confused you ?
Is this more than you wanted to know ?
