Answer:

It's because the little lines around -4 are called absolute value functions, and their function is to make any negative value to positive. If there are a positive value in an absolute value function, it stays positive, for example:

|-2| = 2, and |2| = 2

If 4x = 28 , find the value of 29-5x

Levart [38]

First you would solve 4x=28. Divide both sides by 4 and you'll get x= 7. Then you plug in the 7 in replacement for the x in the equation, 29-5x and you'll get as an answer -6!!

15. In triangle ∆PQR, C is the centroid.

Dmitrij [34]

Because C is the centroid, therefore:

Segments PZ = ZR; RY = YQ; QX = XP

A.
If CY = 10, then

PC = 2*CY = 20
PY = PC + CY = 20 + 10 = 30
Answer: PC = 20 PY = 30

B.
If QC = 10, then

ZC = QC/2 = 5
ZQ = ZC + QC = 5 + 10 = 15
Answer: ZC = 5 ZQ = 15

C.
If PX = 20
Because the median RX bisects side PQ, therefore PX = QX = 20
PQ = PX + QX = 40
Answer: PQ = 40
