The absolute value of 18 is 18. In order to find an absolute value, you take the positive value of whatever the number may be. So the absolute value of 9 and -9 would both still be 9.

a. ΔMNK ≅ ΔRTP
b. TR ≅ NM
c. x = 7
3x - 1 = 20
3x = 20 + 1
3x = 21
x = 21 ÷ 3
x = 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


<u>x² - 4x - 5</u> <u>x² - 3x - 10</u>
(x - 5)(x + 1) (x - 5)(x + 2)
GCF: (x - 5)
LCM: (x - 5)(x + 1)(x + 2)
Answer: (x - 5)(x + 1)(x + 2)
Answer:
x=−1 or x=−9
Step-by-step explanation:
x2+11x+10=x+1
Step 1: Subtract x+1 from both sides.
x2+11x+10−(x+1)=x+1−(x+1)
x2+10x+9=0
Step 2: Factor left side of equation.
(x+1)(x+9)=0
Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.
x+1=0 or x+9=0
x=−1 or x=−9
