Answer:
Angle 1 equals 90 degrees. Angle 2 equals 38 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 1 is at the cross of two perpendicular lines, making it 90 degrees. Angle 2 can be found by making the two equal side lengths and the middle line into one triangle. This means that two of the angles are 52 degrees. This leaves 76 degrees to be split in the triangle. The middle line cuts the angle in half, making it 38 degrees
Answer:
I've pretty much already solved this, in my discussion above:
| 3 | = 3
| –3 | = 3
So then x must be equal to 3 or equal to –3.
But how am I supposed to solve this if I don't already know the answer? I will use the positive / negative property of the absolute value to split the equation into two cases, and I will use the fact that the "minus" sign in the negative case indicates "the opposite sign", not "a negative number".
For example, if I have x = –6, then "–x " indicates "the opposite of x" or, in this case, –(–6) = +6, a positive number. The "minus" sign in "–x" just indicates that I am changing the sign on x. It does not indicate a negative number. This distinction is crucial!
Whatever the value of x might be, taking the absolute value of x makes it positive. Since x might originally have been positive and might originally have been negative, I must acknowledge this fact when I remove the absolute-value bars. I do this by splitting the equation into two cases. For this exercise, these cases are as follows:
a. If the value of x was non-negative (that is, if it was positive or zero) to start with, then I can bring that value out of the absolute-value bars without changing its sign, giving me the equation x = 3.
b. If the value of x was negative to start with, then I can bring that value out of the absolute-value bars by changing the sign on x, giving me the equation –x = 3, which solves as x = –3.
Then my solution

-1
If you multiply all 3 numbers (x*y*z) you will get the answer
Answer:
x = 20/9
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write out all of the mixed fractions into improper fraction form. So -2 and 1/9 becomes -19/9 and -4 and 1/3 becomes -13/3. Then we get (-19/9) - (-13/3). The two minus signs together means a positive/plus sign, so we get -19/9 + 13/3. In order to add, we want the denominator to be the same. A common denominator could be 9, so -19/9 + 13(3)/3(3) = -19/9 + 39/9 = 20/9, which is our final answer
