The lengths of sides of a triangle have to satisfy the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.
Here 9+8=17 (not greater), so these segments do not form a triangle.
A reflect over the x-axis
First, you need to create a unit rate.
The car travels 182 miles on 14 gallons of gas.
To create a unit rate, you would have to divide 14 by 182.
182 mi 13 mi
———— = ———-
14 gal 1 gal
Then, you would need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 because the question is asking how far the car can travel on 8 gallons of gas.
13 mi x 8 104 mi
——— = ————
1 gal x 8 8 gal
So, your answer is the car travels 104 miles on 8 gallons of gas.
The answer is A because when the two lines are on the outside of a term like that it means that what ever is inside is the opposite of the original number
For ex. | 4 | < 4
The 1st number will be a negative so it makes the statement true
