Plot a point at "-9" and the other at "7". Both dots will be shaded in.
We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is :

We need to find the value of this expression when h = 8, j = -1 and k = -12.
Put all the values in the given expression.

So, the value of the given expression is 12.
Answer:
3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When we enlarge or shrink an object, we perform a dilation. A dilation preserves the relationship between sides and the exact angle measure. This means the original and the enlargement are proportional and any missing lengths can be found through a proportion.
A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare height over length of the original rectangle to an equal ratio of height to length of the enlargement. Since we do not know height of the enlargement, we will use a variable to write:
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for h by dividing by 9.
The new height is 3 cm.
