The number line shows the distance in meters of two skydivers, point a (-2.5) and b (5), from a third skydiver located at point x(0):
write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between skydivers a and b. (5 points)
show your work and solve for the distance using additive inverses. (5 points)

Solve the system by the elimination method. 3x - 2y - 7 = 0 5x + y - 3 = 0 to eliminate y, the lcm is 2. which of the following is the resulting equations? 1.3x - 2y - 7 = 0 5x + y - 3 = 0 2.3x - 2y - 7 = 0 -10x - 2y + 6 = 0 3.3x - 2y - 7 = 0 10x + 2y - 6 = 0

The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log l/s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and s is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.
