Answer: look at the bottom
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference of two negative numbers may or may not be negative. It depends on the numbers taken as well as on the sequence in which they are taken. Then, a-b=b-a=0, (which is neither negative nor positive..!!!) So difference of two negative numbers may be positive, negative or even zero.
The answer is A to change an exponent from negative to positive, just move it into either the numerator or denominator depending on where it is to begin with.
Given
base=2x+6
height=x+4
and
area=56 square units
56=1/2 times (2x+6) times (x+4)
times bot sides by 2
112=(2x+6)(x+4)
expand
112=2x²+14x+24
divide both sides by 2
56=x²+7x+12
minus 56 both sides
0=x²+7x-44
factor
waht 2 numbers mulitply to get -44 and add to get 7
11 and -4
0=(x-4)(x+11)
set to 0
x-4=0
x=4
x+11=0
x=-11
false, measures can't be negative
x=4
height=x+4
height=4+4=8
base=2x+6
base=2(4)+6=8+6=14
x=4 and base=14 and height=8
Swap the n with the 7
7-5
Find the answer to 7-5
7-5=2
So the answer is 2
I added a screenshot with the complete question
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>Total miles = 2.5 miles
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>1- While walking:</u>
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked

of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:</u>
Distance = 3 *

= 1 mile
<u>2- While running:</u>
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran

of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:</u>
Distance = 6 *

= 1.5 miles
<u>3- getting the total mileage:</u>
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles
Hope this helps :)
