1. 7 and -7 are both 7 units away from 0. They are 14 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 7+(-7) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 7+7=14 to be able to count the units between the two.
2. 5 and -5 are both 5 units away from 0. They are 10 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 5+(-5) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 5+5=10 to be able to count the units between the two.
3. 2 and -2 are both 2 units away from 0. They are 4 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 2+(-2) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 2+2=4 to be able to count the units between the two.
Hope that helps
Answer:
4.5
miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, he runs
3
miles in
28
minutes. Also, see that
42
=
28
⋅
1.5
.
So, his journey would just be running
1.5
times, with each time running
28
minutes.
So, he runs a total of
1.5
⋅
3
=
4.5
miles
The answer: " x = 68, y = 72 " .
____________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________
46 + (x - 3) + (y - 3) = 180 .
46 + 1(x - 3) + 1(y-3) = 180 .
46 + 1x - 3 + 1y - 3 = 180 .
46 - 3 - 3 + 1x + 1y = 180 .
40 + x + y = 180 ;
Subtract "40" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
______________________________________
40 + x + y - 40 = 180 - 40 ;
to get:
x + y = 140 ;
_____________________________________
Now:
_____________________________________
65 = (x - 3) ;
↔ x - 3 = 65 ;
Add "3" to EACH SIDE of the equation;
x - 3 + 3 = 65 + 3 ;
to get:
x = 68 .
______________________________
Now:
Since: "x + y = 140" ;
Let us plug in our known value, "68" ; for "x" ;
to solve for "y" ;
__________________________________
x + y = 140 ;
68 + y = 140 ;
↔ y + 68 = 140 ;
Subtract "68" from EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
______________________________________________
y + 68 - 68 = 140 = 68 ;
y = 72 .
______________________________________________
So, solve for "x" and "y".
x = 68, y = 72 .
