Additive inverse is the number multiplied with -1 such that the sum of the number and the additive inverse will result in 0.
Answer:
Approximately 6.8m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can picture this problem by drawing a rectangular prism with a width of 5m, a depth of 3m, and a height of 3.5m. To find the length from one corner of the floor to the opposite corner of the floor, we can use the pythagorean theorem and plug in the width and depth of the room for a and b:

And now we can solve for c...


c = 5.831m
Now that we have the length from corner to corner across the floor, we can use the pythagorean theorem again, this time using the length from corner to corner across the floor we just derived and the height of the room:

And now we can solve for c again...

c = 6.8m
let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall
so half the distance would be 1/2x
then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5
and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
