|a| = b gives
a =b or a = -b

so,
|-x| = -10
gives
-x = -10 or -x = 10
x = 10, -10

now let us verify,
when x = 10, |-10| = +10 and it is not = -10
so, x= 10 is NOT a solution.

when x = -10, |-(-10)| = |10| = 10 and it is not = -10
so, x= -10 is NOT a solution.

hence, this equation does not have a solution.

If we know that |...| can never be negative, we can directly deduce that this equation does not have any solution.

The two right triangular prisms are similar solids.

Zanzabum

Answer:

<h2>The volume of the larger prims is eight times greater than the smaller prism.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor of the larger prims to the smaller prism is 3, that means each side is triple.

We know the a triangular prims has a volume defined by

$V_{small} =\frac{b \times h_{1} }{2} \times h_{2}$

If we take that formula as the smaller prism, then the larer prism has a volum of

$V_{large} =\frac{2b \times 2h_{1} }{2} \times 2h_{2}=8(\frac{b \times h_{1} \times h_{2} }{2} )$

If we compare, we can deduct that

$V_{large}=8V_{small}$

In words, the volume of the larger prims is eight times greater than the smaller prism.

Advocard [28]

Answer: (-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over the x-axis: (x, y) → (x, -y)

(-2, 2) → (-2, -2)

x would remain the same but the y would turn negative since we're reflecting over the x-axis. The x never changes in this situation but since we're flipping it over the x-axis, they y has to be negative.

Hope this helps!

Two cyclists leave city at same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes 3 mph faster than the

Bumek [7]

Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist

So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist

We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$
