Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are parallel since they both have the slope of 3. Then it becomes a matter of seeing how far their y-intercepts are from one another. That is the distance between them, and will be the distance between them for the entire length of each line since parallel lines remain the same distance apart forever. The first line has a y-intercept of 6 and the second line has a y-intercept of -2. From 6 to 0 is 6, then add another 2 units to get a grand total of 8 units apart. Since distance is a measure of length and length will never be negative, we are not subtracting here. We are simply counting the number of units between each y-intercept. And it doesn't have to be the y-intercept. Every point on the first line is 8 units above every point on the second line.

if two angles of a triangle have measures of 42 degrees and 20 degrees what is the measure of the third

Mila [183]

Every triangle has an angle measure of 180 degrees.

so 42+20+x (where x is the measure of the third angle)=180

Combine like terms.

62+x=180

Subtract 62 from both sides

x=118.

Answer:

$x1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

$(x+5)(x-1)$

And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:

$(x+5)(x-1)>0$

Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:

$(x+5)(x-1)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$x+5=0\text{ or } x-1=0$

On the left, subtract 5.

On the right, add 1.

So, our zeros are:

$x=-5, 1$

Since our inequality is a greater than, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the left of our lesser zero and all the values to the right of our greater zero.

So, our solution is:

$x1$

And we're done!
