Start by combining LIKE-TERMS. 13b AND 23 are LIKE-TERMS because they have the same variable (B) and numbers. Remember PEMDAS OR Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). There is also FOIL (First, Inside, Outside, Last). Because we will start with Parenthesis(Use the FOIL method because the 56 is part of the parentheses) first, (-56 x b[first part of the set]) = -56b THEN (-56 x [+ {always carry the sign, this shows that it is positive}]1) = -56
Now we have 13b+23b -56b-56
=36b -56b -56
= -20b - 56
This is your final equation because THESE ARE NOT LIKE-TERMS, therefore, they CANNOT be combined
Answer:
A. The difference in the heights of the bars will not appear as great.
Step-by-step explanation:
The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.
1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).
Paralalell means that is has the same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
y=-1x-2
slope=-1
the equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
(2,-2) and slope is -1
y-(-2)=-1(x-2)
y+2=-x+2
minus 2
y=-x
answer is y=-x
