On monday, the temperature was - 5 f. on tuesday the temperature was - 8 f. which temperature has a larger absolute value? which temperature is colder?

Step-by-step explanation:

Plotted on a number line, -8 is to the left of -5, and both are left of 0. The number farthest from 0 has the largest absolute value: -8.

The number farthest to the left is colder: -8.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
