Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding a negative and a positive number, you need to keep in mind that your are essentially adding.

so if I have a number line

-24, -23, -22, -21, -20, -19, -18, -17, -16, -15, -14,,,,

you will start at -24 and will go up the number line (to the right) 8 times and that should get you your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. No: angles add to more than 180 deg.

2. Yes: each side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

3. No: not every side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

4. Yes: for example, place the 50 deg angle between the two given sides. Another side will then make the triangle.

5. Yes: for example, use 3 cm as the short leg in a 30-60-90 right triangle.

Two cars leave Denver at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One car travels 10 mi/h faster than the other car. The

MaRussiya [10]

The speed of one car is 'S'. The speed of the other car is (S + 10).

In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels 5(S + 10) miles.

Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.

500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)

500 = 5S + 5S + 50

500 = 10S + 50

Subtract 50 from each side:

450 = 10S

Divide each side by 10

S = 45

S + 10 = 55

If we are given x such that 25^x-9^y=18 and 5^x-3^y=3, compute 5^x+3^y.

leonid [27]

25 = 5*5 and 9 = 3*3, which we can exploit to write

$25^x-9^y=(5^2)^x-(3^2)^y=5^{2x}-3^{2y}=(5^x)^2-(3^y)^2$
