Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "-−" sign outside the parentheses: -(-4.2w-7x-5.4)

Answer: 4.2*w + 7*x + 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to remember how the product of different signs works, here is the rule:

(+)*(+) = (+)

(+)*(-) = (-)

(-)*(+) = (-)

(-)*(-) = (+)

Now we want to distribute the negative sign in the equation:

"-(-4.2w-7x-5.4)"

We can write this as:

-(-4.2w-7x-5.4) = (-1)*(-4.2w-7x-5.4)

Now we can distribute the "-1"

Then we get:

(-1)*(-4.2w) + (-1)*(-7x) + (-1)*(-5.4)

We have 3 cases where we need to use the "(-)*(-) = (+)" rule, then we get:

(-1)*(-4.2w) + (-1)*(-7x) + (-1)*(-5.4) = 4.2*w + 7*x + 5.4

Help<br> What is the SSS postulate for triangle congruence?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Side, Side, Side

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 sides in one triangle are congruent to 3 sides in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. This is called the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate and it is a shortcut for proving that two triangles are congruent.

Hope this helps! <3

Reorder the following equations in ascending order of steepness: y= 15x + 5 y= 0.15x - 1 y=x y= x + 100
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

y= 0.15x - 1, y = x, y = x + 100, y = 15x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the slope of a line is less than 1 (if the slope is a decimal), the slope will not be steep. But when the slope is more than 1, the slope will be steeper than the average.

According to that rule, the steepest will be y = 15x + 5.

The next steepest equations will be y = x and y = x + 100 (they are both at the same degree of steepness; the intercept does not impact the steepness of the line).

The least steepest will bey = 0.15x - 1.

So, the order, from least steep to most steep, will be y= 0.15x - 1, y = x, y = x + 100, y = 15x + 5.

Hope this helps!

Help ASAP please!! Find the length of the missing side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

=20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2+ b^2=c^2  (arms+legs squared=hypotenuse)

2. plug in the numbers to the equation:

14^2+15^2=c

225+196=c^2

421=C^2

the square root of 421 is 20.5 which is the hypotenuse of the triangle
