Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to divide both sides by the coefficient of x
Divide both sides by -3, and replace
with
. Then

Factorize the quadratic in
to get

which in turn means

But
for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

Answer:
C: 3 x 4 x 4
Step-by-step explanation:
It's obvious for an European since it's simple approximation, the cm is just thrown in to confuse Americans.
The answer is C.
You want:
10 < a < 14 (greater or equal)
The difference between 10 and 12 is 2.
The difference between 12 and 14 is 2.
Therefore the absolute value allows you to express that the difference between a and 12 cannot be greater than 2 (either going up to a max of 14 or going down to a minimum of 10).
