Answer: Sophia is Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

23 degrees lower than 0 = -23 degrees

14 degrees lower than 0 = -14 degrees

-23 is less than -14 because it is farther to the left on the numberline than 0. This means Sophia is incorrect because she wrote that -14 is less than -23 (-14 > -23), the correct answer is -14 is greater than -23 (-23<-14)

Please tell me if I'm wrong :)

Answer:

<h2>x=-2 or x=8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate by the x from one side of the equation.

|x-3|=5

x-3=-5 and x-3=5

1. x-3=-5

Add 3 from both sides.

x-3+3=-5+3

Solve.

-5+3=(-2)

x=-2

2. x-3=5

Add 3 from both sides.

x-3+3=5+3

Solve.

5+3=8

x=8

Therefore, the correct answer is x=-2 or x=8.

What is the area of the triangle whose vertices are D( 3, 3), E(3, -1), and F(-2, -5)?
ycow [4]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Area of the triangle is </em><em>10 sq.units</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

We know that,

\text{Area of the triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}[{x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]

Taking,

(x₁, y₁) = (3, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, -1)

(x₃, y₃) = (-2, -5)

Then putting these in the formula,

\text{Area of the triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}[3(-1+5)+3(-5-3)-2(3+1)]

=\dfrac{1}{2}[3(4)+3(-8)-2(4)]

=\dfrac{1}{2}[12-24-8]

=\dfrac{1}{2}[-20]

=-10

As area can not be negative, ignoring negative sign,

\text{Area of the triangle}=10

8b-ab=7a, .subtracted from 3a-9ab+b<br>​
Tresset [83]

Answer: You can't. Read explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't subtract an expression from an equation. If you said something like subtract 8b-ab+7a from 3a-9ab+b that would work, but not here.

Let's just assume You mean it as 8b-ab-7a, then (3a-9ab+b)-(8b-ab-7a) = -8ab + 10a - 7b.

Hope that helped,
