Kenny owned so many baseball cards that he sold 82 of them. after selling the cards he still had 159 left. write and solve an equation to find the number of baseball cards b kenny had originally

a. b + 82 = 159; 77 cards
b. b - 82 = 159; 241 cards
c. b + 159 = 82; 241 cards
d. b + 159 = 82; 77 cards

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

What is the absolute value of -100000000000000?

Given: ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude. prove: ab2+ac2=cb2 right triangle a b c with right angle a. point d lies on side b c and segment a d is drawn. angle a d c is a right angle. drag and drop a reason into each box to correctly complete the two-column proof. statement reason ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude, and ∠bac is a right angle. given ∠adb and ∠adc are right angles. definition of altitude ∠bac≅∠bda ? ∠bac≅∠adc ? ∠b≅∠b ? ∠c≅∠c reflexive property of congruence △abc∼△dba ? △abc∼△dac aa similarity postulate abbd=cbab ? ab2=(cb)(bd) cross multiply and simplify. acdc=cbac polygon similarity postulate ac2=(cb)(dc) cross multiply and simplify. ab2+ac2=ab2+(cb)(dc) addition property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd)+(cb)(dc) substitution property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd+dc) ? bd+dc=cb segment addition postulate ab2+ac2=cb2 substitution property of equality
