Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step1: find the interval of roots. Consider -3 and -2
Hence, the root must be on [-3,-2]
Step2: consider the middle point -2.5
Then, the root must be on [-3, -2.5]
Step 3: Repeat step 2 by finding the value of f at the middle point -2.75
Step 3: Repeat step 2 by finding the value of f at the middle point of the interval [-2.75,-2.5] which is -2.625
Step4: Repeat step 2 on [-2.75, -2.625]
Repeat step 2 until you got the root which is -2.701

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a simultaneous equation.
First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".
x + 2y = 14 (equation 1)
2x + y = 10 (equation 2)
This is solved using the elimination method.
We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.
2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2
4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14 (2y cancels out here)
3x = 6
x = 2
Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.
2 + 2y = 14
2y = 12
y = 6
Hope this has answered your question.
