Jessica is bisecting a segment. first, she places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger than half of the segment. what is her next step?

swing an arc on either side of the segment.
create a point that is not on the segment.
draw a ray from one endpoint of the segment.
place the compass on a point that is not on the segment.

(w – 2.5)(w + 2.5)

(–4v – 9)(–4v + 9)

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
