Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)
Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Definition of absolute value: </u>
<em>Distance from zero on a number line. </em>
<em />
Imagine a number line with 0 in the middle of it. Now mark the number 3 on it. Also mark the <em>opposite </em>of 3, which is -3. What is the <u>distance</u> from zero to those 2 points? it's 3.
This is exactly like saying |3| = 3 and |-3| = 3
Even if the number inside absolute value is negative, it <em><u>simplifies</u></em> to the positive of the same number.

So let's talk about your problem.
-|-15|
> the absolute value simplifies to 15
-|-15| = - 15
So that ends up being your answer.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!
