Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number (Let's call it x) has been subtracted by 7 (x - 7) then to find the previous number you just do the opposite. Let's call the end result y. 2 + 7 = x (Or y + 7 = x). <u>2 + 7 = 9.</u>

List all the transformations that are rigid motions.
chubhunter [2.5K]

A rigid motion is any motion that doesn't deform the original shape - it's a motion that preserves the lengths and angles of a shape without stretching, squishing, or bending anything. The best way to think about rigid motions is to imagine holding something solid in your hand, like a smartphone. How can you move it around? You can <em>rotate</em> it around in your hand, changing its orientation; you can move your hand around through space, changing the smartphone's position. While it may not seem like a motion, you can also hold it up to a mirror, <em>reflecting </em>it in some way. These three transformations, rotation, translation (shifting position), and reflection, are the three primary rigid motions.

\frac{24z^{5}y^{4}}{3z^{-2}y^{5}} = \frac{24}{3}*\frac{z^{5}}{z^{-2}}*\frac{y^{4}}{y^{5}} = \frac{8}{1} *\frac{z^{5+2}}{1}*\frac{1}{y^{5-4}} = \frac{8z^{7} }{y}

11)

(a²b)³ = a²⁽³⁾b¹⁽³⁾ = a⁶b³

12)

The exponent tells you how many places to move the decimal. The positive/negative sign tells you which direction to move the decimal (negative is left, positive is right).

8.4 x 10⁻⁵ <em>move the decimal 5 places to the left</em>   =  0.000084
