(3x − 5) − (4x + 6)
Pretend that there is a 1 in front of the first bracket.
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the second bracket.
Multiply the first bracket by 1
(1)(3x)=3x, (1)(-5)=-5
Multiply the second bracket by -1
(-1)(4)=-4, (-1)(6)=-6
3x-5-4x-6
3x-4x-5-6 ( combine like terms)
-x-11
Answer: -x-11 or -11-x
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need to calculate the slope of the line shown. This can be computed as:
where
is the increment along the y-direction
is the increment along the x-direction
We can choose the following two points to calculate the slope of the line shown:
(-3,2) and (0,-2)
And so, the slope of the line shown is
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the slope of the first line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the second line:
Using 
, we find that a line perpendicular to the line shown should have a slope of
Answer:
x = 11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
4x=45
divide 4 from both sides
4/4 x = 45/4
x= 11.25

2/3=0.66666666667
Answer:
Minimum - 8.1 inches
Maximum - 8.35 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The specifications for manufacturing a steel rod stipulate that the length must be 8.225 ± 0.125 inches.
This means that the minimum length must not be 0.125 inches less than 8.225 inches and the maximum length must not be 0.125 inches greater than 8.225 inches.
The minimum length is therefore:
8.225 - 0.125 = 8.1 inches
The maximum length is therefore:
8.225 + 0.125 = 8.35 inches
