Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive. a always think of "keep, change, change" because you keep the first number the same, the minus sign is changed to a addition sign, and the negative number is changed to a positive. hope this helped!

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding that number. For example, 4-(-5)=? 4+5=9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 6 = 8 + 3x - 2

3x + 6 = 3x + 6

Bringing like terms on one side

3x - 3x = 6 - 6

Triangles Q R S and X Y Z are shown. Angles Q S R and X Z Y are right angles. Angles Q R S and X Y Z are congruent. The length o

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

∠QSR≅∠XZY ---> given problem

∠QRS≅∠XYZ ---> given problem

so

△QRS ~ △XYZ ----> by AA Similarity theorem

Remember that, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

That means

$\frac{QS}{XZ}=\frac{QR}{XY}=\frac{RS}{YZ}$

∠Q≅∠X

∠R≅∠Y

∠S≅∠Z

<em>In the right triangle XYZ</em>

Find the tangent of angle X

$tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XZ}$ ---> opposite side angle X divided by adjacent side angle X

substitute the given values

$tan(X)=\frac{9}{12}$

Simplify

$tan(X)=\frac{3}{4}$

Remember that

∠Q≅∠X

so

$tan(Q)=tan(X)$

therefore

$tan(Q)=\frac{3}{4}$ ---->Three-fourths
