if / means absolute value, then the answer is -3. The absolute value of 3 is 3, then you take the negative value of it, which is -3.
Btw, the absolute sign is ||, not //.
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>

<em>Since we are already given the base and the height, we can substitute them into the formula to find the area of the triangle.</em>

<u>Cancel out the "2" by dividing it by 18.</u>

<u>Simplify the multiplication.</u>

7a-4=3a+27+4a
7a-4=7a+27
you sure you type the right question?
3, 15, 75, 375, and here's why:
Basically, it's asking you to take 3, and multiply it by five each time to get a pattern.
1: 3
2: 3*5 = 15
3: 15*5 = 75
4: 75*5 = 375
Add these together:
3 + 15 + 75 + 375 = 468
Your answer is "A)", 468.
