Those lines on both sides of the number means "absolute value." Those lines tell us that the number is positive no matter what. So:
15 + |-3| - 4 → 15 + 3 - 4
Remember to follow PEMDAS when solving.
(15 + 3) - 4
18 - 4
14
Therefore, the answer is 14.
Best of Luck!
Did u attach something? Or what question do u need help in?
Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of each side in one triangle to
the corresponding side in the other one is always the same number.
We know what one pair of sides is ... 3.5 and 7 ... so we know that
each side in the first triangle is 1/2 as long as the corresponding side
in the other one.
So we can say with assurance that ...
y = 1/2 (x + 4)
and
x = 1/2 (3y) .
That's all the intelligence required for this problem. The rest is just algebra,
and I should not need to go through all the routine misery for you here.
When you solve this pair of equations slowly, carefully, and accurately,
you'll find that the sides of the triangles are ...
3.5, 8, 12
and
7, 16, 24 .
Answer:
A = 13 B =0 = 1/2 This way x in a graph can be his start running ability (time) each A value applied will divide by 1/2 to make 6.5 and when x = 21 then y can be 7 with the AB equation above as 13 x 1/2 = 6.5. add multiple 0 doesn't occur because we start with x value 21 to show the starting value. Alternately x= 137 and y = 0. Then the graph can go up or down when his running value changes as a negative decrease 137 - b = -? and a positive increase will show increase 137+b = +?.
