Answer -1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/12 + 1/2 cannot be added until you change 1/2 into 6/12.

To change 1/2 to 6/12, you have to multiply 1/2 by 6 because you want the same denominator. Since you can't just make a whole new fraction by changing the denominator, you have to multiply the numerator by 6 as well.

After changing the fraction, you should get -7/12 + 6/12.

now you can just add the numerators and denominators together and get -1/12!

Why can 2 obtuse angles make a right triangle please help

djverab [1.8K]

They can NOT. A right angle is 90°. An obtuse angle is greater than 90°. All the angles in a triangle must add up to exactly 180°. If two angles are greater than 90° then they will add up to greater than 180, beacuse 90 plus 90 equals 180. You cannot have a triangle with two obtuse angles because they will add up to greater than 180°.

Simplify (write without the absolute value sign): |x−(−12)|, if x<−12

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

|x + 12|

Step-by-step explanation:

The question I took form you I assume looks like this...

|x - (-12)|

Therefore, if we simplify this, the answer is |x + 12|

This is the answer because you would multiply -1 by -12

X/(x-2) + (x-1)/(x+1) = -1 <br><br> How to solve?

kirill115 [55]

Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1
