I think you forgot to add the attachment.
Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
for every 4 pencils there is 1 eraser. 4/1=208/x
4x=208
x=52
Answer:
The standard equation of the parabola is:

Step-by-step explanation:
An x intercept of 2 means that the point (2, 0) is in the graph of the parabola.
We can also write the general expression for the parabola in vertex form, since we can use the information on the coordinates of the vertex: (4, 6) - recall that the axis of symmetry of the parabola goes through the parabola's vertex, so the x-value of the vertex must be x=4.

Now we can find the value of the parameter "a" by using the extra information about the point (2, 0) at which the parabola intercepts the x-axis:

Then the equation of the parabola becomes:

If 9 is the radius and 20 is the height then it would be 5089.4 cm^3
