Your answer would be 1, or 72+25.

What is happening in this case is a negative number is being subtracted from a positive. This means you are taking away a negative. The two negatives cancel each other out, and then it becomes you are adding a positive.

Another way I like to think about this is the two minus symbols combine together to form a plus sign.

Hope this helped!

-2x + 8. you multiply all the terms inside the parenthesis by the one outside of/attached to them. the reason it is +8 and not -8 is because the negatives cancel out to give you a positive.

Determine whether the given linear equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Answer:

A. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. Opposite, meaning if positive, the other slope is negative, and if negative, the other slope is positive. Reciprocal meaning, the number is flipped upside down, turning fractions into whole numbers and vice versa.
