8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.
8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7
8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.
8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23
8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+6y=12
6y = 12 - 4x
y = 12/6 - 4x/6
y = 2 - 2x/3

Question
Find the perimeter of a triangle with vertices A(2,5) B(2,-2) C(5,-2). Round your answer to the nearest tenth and show your work.
perimeter of a triangle = AB+AC+BC
Using the distance formula
AB = sqrt(-2-5)²+(2-2)²
AB = sqrt(-7)²
AB =sqrt(49)
AB =7
BC = sqrt(-2+2)²+(2-5)²
BC = sqrt(0+3²)
BC =sqrt(9)
BC =3
AC= sqrt(-2-5)²+(2-5)²
AC= sqrt(-7)²+3²
AC =sqrt(49+9)
AC =sqrt58
Perimeter = 10+sqrt58
