The area of a square is 16 square units. Since 42 = 16 and (-4)2 = 16, both 4 and -4

It is true that (-4)^2 = 16; however, it doesn't make sense to have a square with a negative side lengths. Lengths and distances must be positive numbers.

So in many problems, we'll just ignore the negative solution to equations like x^2 = 16. It makes sense to only consider x = 4 for situations like this.

The mean and the median are the same. 2,3,4,5

Ber [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

$mean \: ( \bar x) = \frac{2 + 3 + 4 + 5}{4} = \frac{14}{4} = 3.5 \\ \\ median \: = \frac{3 + 4 }{2} = \frac{7}{4} = 3.5 \\ \\$

Thus, mean and median are same.

What kind of solution is -4x-4=-7(x+4) ?

natima [27]

~ Simplifying

-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)

~ Reorder the terms:

-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)

~ Reorder the terms:

-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)

-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)

-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)

~ Solving

-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x

~ Solving for variable 'x'.

~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x

~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x

-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x

~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

-4 + 3x = -28 + 0

-4 + 3x = -28

~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4

~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 3x = -28 + 4

3x = -28 + 4

~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24

3x = -24

~ Divide each side by '3'.

x = -8

~ Simplifying

x = -8

Answer:

Answer is option d

Answer is given below with explanations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove that the two triangles are similar.

We can prove this using AA criterion of similarity.

In triangle DNC and triangle QSC

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Then Angle QCS = Angle DCN

Two parallel lines cut by a transversal line make the alternate angles are equal.

Then Angle NDC = Angle CQS

By AA criterion of similarity

TRIANGLE DNC ~ TRIANGLE QSC

HAVE A NICE DAY!
