Answer:
x=-24 is the correct answer
It's indepentent. In fact, the tar pit's temperature DEPENDS (dependent variable) by the air's temperature (independent variable).
An absolute value means something distance from 0, so |8| = 8 because the distance of 8 from 0 is 8. However the |-8| still equals 8 because the distance from -8 to 0 is 8
So with that in mind, we know that |-4| is 4 because the distance -4 is from 0 is 4
So we have 4*4 = 16
Answer:
4x+20=31
Step-by-step explanation:
So one hour of bowling is 20 dollars and they bowled for one hour hence the 1x20 which is equal to 20. That is the base coast we add to the variable of x that is the cost of renting one pair of shoes. And since they rented 4 pairs of shoes you multiply x by 4 to get 4x. Add the 20 dollars they paid to bowl and it is 4x+20. They paid 31 dollars in total so equal the equation to 31. 4x+20=31. Solution is $2.75 per pair of shoes.
