Raisa’s office is on the sixth floor of a building. From her office, she took the elevator down eight floors to the parking garage. Which number represents the distance and direction of her trip from the parking garage to the ground floor of the building?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

From her office to the parking floor is 8 steps down . 5 4 3 2 1, 0 , -1 ,-2

Ground level is 0 so from -2 to zero is -2 which absolute value is always positive so -2 turn into 2

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
