Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 = 
{Midpoint theorem}
2(x+ 5) = x² - x
2x + 10 = x² - x
x² - x - 2x - 10 = 0
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
x² - 5x + 2x - (5*2) = 0
x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0
(x -5)(x + 2) = 0
{x + 2 is ignored because measurement could not be in negative value}
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
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:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
To write fractions as decimals divide the numerator by the denominator, for example 3/4 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75 so 3/4 as a decimal is 0.75. If you want to do that with a mixed number, 3 3/4 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75 then add the 3 so 3 3/4 is equal to 3.75.
Answer: y= -3/2x + 2
y= -3/2 + b
5 = -3/2 * -2 + b
5 = 3 + b
2 = b
