Answer:
b = -a
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
On a number line, the distance between 0 and b is the same distance that between 0 and a (but b and a are in opposite sides of zero).
And we know that, for example, when:
b = 2, a = -2
Remember that the distance between two values is given by:
|n - m|
Then the distance between 0 and b is:
|0 - b|
and the distance between 0 and a is:
|0 - a|
we have:
|-b| = |-a|
|b| = |a|
But the numbers are in opposite sides of the zero, so one must be positive and the other negative, then we can conclude that:
b = -a
or
-b = a
(these are equivalent)
Then the correct option is the first option:
b = -a

Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain
1. Using a dog as narrator gives the passage a tone of —
• objectivity
• formality
• bitterness

2. What literary device is used in the sentence “She had one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver”?

• Metaphor
• Hyperbole
• Onomatopoeia
3. Based on the second paragraph, the word mastiff most likely means —

• a part of a ship
4. According to the author, what would bring such happiness to the dogs as he describes at the end of the story?
• They helped the author’s mother find the words she used, so they especially enjoyed watching her use them.
• They knew the meaning of “supererogation” and realized they were listening to a funny joke.
• Watching and laughing as others were embarrassed vindicated their own previous embarrassment.
• They were generally happy dogs who often expressed a great deal of joy.
5. “A Dog’s Tale” uses the topic of animal communication in order to —
• show how dogs really communicate
• explain how animals learn from humans
• demonstrate that dogs are smarter than most people
• poke fun at human behavior
6. The amount of time that passes during this story is most likely —
• 10 hours
• 10 days

7. An underlying theme in this story is that —

• dogs know more than people realize
• family loyalty takes top priority

8. Since the author used first person, readers are left to wonder —

• how strangers reacted to his mother’s word knowledge
• what the author’s mother was thinking
• whether or not the author’s mother knew the meanings of all the words she used
Volume is length • width • height
Answer: The dimensions of the flower bed are,
39 ft, 57 ft and 78 ft.
Step-by-step explanation: Of the three sides, one side is twice the length of the shortest. Let the shortest side be labelled as b. That means one of the sides of the flower bed measures twice b, that is, 2b.
Also we are told that the third side measures 18 feet more than the shortest side, b. The third side can now be represented by b + 18.
So the triangle has sides
b, 2b and b + 18
If the perimeter is 174, then
b + 2b + (b + 18) = 174
b + 2b + b + 18 = 174
4b + 18 = 174
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation
4b = 156
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
b = 39.
Therefore the shortest side of the triangle measures 39 ft while the other two sides measure 78 ft (twice the length of b) and 57 ft (18 ft more than the shortest side)
