All but B, as on B an a can be factored out
I suppose what makes this question annoying is that there is the question mark so what i'll do first is substitute the question mark with x. also, there are annoying parenthesis so we'll first eliminate the ones we don't need. now we just have to solve for x.
-3.4 + (-8 + 2) = (x + (-8)) + 2
adding a negative number is subtracting that number so x + (-8) = x - 8
-3.4 + 2 - 8 = x - 8 + 2
-3.4 -6 = x - 6
x = -3.4
make sure you are aware that the negative sign belongs to the number after it so -2 + 4 is not -(2+4) = -6 but rather 4 - 2 = 2.
let me know if you have any questions!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Not all of the pairs represent the same ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is in the same line as DE, both have the same slope.
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.
and so by using the coordinates of D and E
x changes by +4 (from 8 to 12).
y changes by -8 (from 32 to 24).
the slope is therefore
-8/+4 = -2
