Answer:

The answer is C, 17 and | -17|

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using the process of elimination.

Looking at the first one, we know that those | | around the 7 mean to find the absolute value. The absolute value is the number of units the number is from zero, and it is always positive. This means that it is saying 7 and -7. Those are opposites, so we know that this isn't right.

17 and -17 are opposites, since the opposite of a positive is a negative.

The last one is the same. 71 and -71 are opposites. That leaves us with C.

Remember that those | | mean to find the absolute value of. -17 is 17 unites from zero. So is 17 the oppostie of 17? No, so these are not opposites, and therefore are our answer.

If two lines have the same slope and different intercepts, then they will never cross each other; they are parallel lines. Therefore, they have no solutions since a solution is where the lines cross.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Bonnie is mixing 1.50 milliliter of soy sauce with 1 milliliter of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bonnie mixes 150 milliliters of soy sauce with 100 milliliters of vinegar

So, in order to find the amount of soy sauce mixed with one ml of vinegar, we have to divide the amount of soy sauce by vinegar.

So,

$Soy\ sauce\ mixed\ with\ 1\ ml\ of\ vinegar\ =\frac{150}{100}\\ = \frac{3}{2}\\=1.50$

Hence,

Bonnie is mixing 1.50 milliliter of soy sauce with 1 milliliter of vinegar

Samantha has a rectangular shaped fish tank in her room. The tank has a height of 2.6 ft, a width of 2.1 ft, and a length of 3.9

andrezito [222]

Answer: the BEST approximation of the amount of water her fish tank can hold is 21ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of Samantha's fish tank is rectangular. The volume of the rectangular fish tank would be expressed as LWH

Where

L represents length of the tank

W represents the width of the tank.

H represents the height of the tank.

The tank has a height of 2.6 ft, a width of 2.1 ft, and a length of 3.9 ft.

This means that the volume of the fish tank would be

Volume = 2.6 × 2.1 × 3.9

= 21.294 ft^3
