<h3>
Answer: B) 2</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Take away the four white small squares on the left side. To balance things out, you have to add 4 black squares to the right side.
Also, take away the two white long rectangles from the right side. To balance this out, you have to add 2 gray long rectangles to the left side.
You should have:
- 5 gray rectangles, and no squares (of any color) on the left side
- 10 black squares, no long rectangles (of any color), on the right side
From here you'll group up the 10 black squares so that you'll have 2 black squares per gray rectangle.
This means the solution is 2.
-------------------------------------
If you're curious about the algebraic way to solve, then you could do this:
3x-4 = -2x+6
3x+2x = 6+4
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
This method doesn't require us to use the visual model.
F(x)=|x|
a parent function is the basic function before it has undergone transformations.
<h3>
Answer: -a > -b</h3>
Explanation:
Let's go over an example.
We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.
The corresponding opposites are: -a = -1 and -b = -7
The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b
Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.
In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
The answer would be 10 degrees
