1. Order the set of integers {-3, 0, -6,4} from greatest to least.

Greatest     4 > 0 > -3 > -6     Least

General Formulas and Concepts:

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative numbers are always going to be the smallest while positive numbers will be the greatest

(3x-8) or (3x+8)

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
