The given information is,
→ a = -8
→ b = -7
→ c = 6
Let's verify the problem,
→ (a+b) + c = a+ (b+c)
→ (-8 - 7) + 6 = -8 + (-7 + 6)
→ -15 + 6 = -8 - 1
→ -9 = -9
→ [ LHS = RHS ]
Hence, it is equal and verified.
1. Y= 5/4x -1.4
2.Y=-2/4x -7
Formula is Y=MX+B
To solve these equations you have to make the Y separate so add or subtract the x value depending on the charge remember what you do to one side you do to the other after you divide everything by the number in the Y value and for the x you put the y value on-top and make it a fraction
Divide it into chunks of area you can find. One way to divide it is
.. a rectangle 2 mi x 5 mi at upper left.
.. a rectangle 8 mi x 6 mi down the middle
.. a rectangle 3 mi x 4 mi at lower right
.. a triangle 5 mi x 6 mi at lower left
Then the sum of areas is
.. (2 mi)*(5 mi) +(8 mi)*(6 mi) +(3 mi)*(4 mi) + (1/2)*(5 mi)*(6 mi)
.. = 10 mi^2 +48 mi^2 +12 mi^2 +15 mi^2
.. = 85 mi^2
