Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's pretend the empty, white space in the middle is a triangle. A right triangle. then we just use the pythogerean theorem to get the a.

log(x) + log(3) = log(18)
log(x) + 0.477121 = 1.255273
Add -0.477121 to both sides.
log(x) + 0.477121 + −0.477121 = 1.255273 + −0.477121
log(x)+0 = 0.778152
Divide both sides by 1.
log(x)+0/1 = 0.778152/1
log(x)=0.778152
Solve Logarithm
log(x) = 0.778152
10log(x) = 100.778152
x = 100.778152
x = 6.00001
If you mean simplifying -4/8 simplified is -2/4 or -1/2 which in decimal form is -0.5 so it is technically a negative half.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can substitute the given values of
,
, and
to find the value of this expression.


We know that <em>two negatives make a positive. </em>This means that
will be the same this as 

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.
