1st you have to know that in mathematiques the signs preceding any number are of paramount importance:
1) addition of 2 digits with different signs:
a) 8 - 3 = 5
b)-8 + 3 = -5 (if the negative sign is associated with largest digit, then the subtraction will be negative and vice versa
c) addition of 2 digits with both negative sign
- 5 - 8 = -13 .You jus add up both by keeping the negative sign
2) Multiplication: 2 digits with different signs:
a) (8) x (-3) = -24
b) (-8) x (3) = -24 so (-) x (+) or (+) x (-) is ALWAYS negative
3) Multiplication: 2 digits with SAME signs;
a) +8 x +3 = 24
b) (-8) x (-33) =24 so (-) x (-) or (+) x (+) is ALWAYS POSITIVE
4) what applies on multiplication applies also on division (same principle)
5) Now we come to parenthesis: When you have parenthesis, the sign preceding the parenthesis is also of paramount importance:
a) a positive sign preceding a parenthesis doesn't affect the consents if you remove these parenthesis: +(5 + 3y) = 5+3y or 2(5+3y) = 10+6y
b) a NEGATIVE sign preceding a parenthesis DOES affect the consents if you remove these parenthesis:
-2(4x -2y -3) ==> If you remove the parenthesis by multiplying by (-2), all signs inside will change: the (+) become ( -) and vice versa,. However mind you, if you have a negative
Now let's take your equation: -15 - ( - 8 ) = -15 +8, remember a negative sign preceding any parenthesis will change all signs inside if you REMOVE the parenthesis: some examples:
a) -15 + 10 -(4-32x -4y)
1st (-15 + 10) = -5 since the largest number is preceded by a NEGATIVE sign
so : -5 - (4-32x -4y) remove the parenthesis -5 -4 + 32x +4y
b) -(-5-8) -(+5+8) ==> -5-8 -5-8 = -10 - 16 => - 26

Answer:
I believe it's A, because all triangles have 3 vertices.

Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation
You can't find the other sides, it may seem impossible, but you have to look at this problem in a different way. To find the perimeter of any figure you just need to know the top base, bottom base, right side, and left side.
We see that the top base equals to the bottom base as it is a rectilinear figure. You have to treat the side with 8 and side with 5 as one base. So they equal 13. Now do the same for the bottom.
So, 13 + 13 = 26
The right side is equal to the left side as it is a rectilinear figure, so the right side is 4 + 10 = 14. The left side is also 14.
So 14 + 14 = 28
26 + 28 = 54 units
Sorry, if I couldn't explain properly. I tried my best. As it is hard for me to explain in words. If I could draw it out, I could do better.
Let x represent the larger number.
.. x -(46 -x) = 14 . .the difference is 14
.. 2x = 60 . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 30 . . . . . . . divide by 2
The larger number is 30; the smaller is 16.
