Answer:

  x = 0 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function can be resolved into two equations. These one- or two-step equations can be solved in the usual way.

__

<h3>negative argument</h3>

  -(x -2) +10 = 12

  -x = 0 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 12

  x = 0 . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1. Check: 0 -2 is negative.

<h3>positive argument</h3>

  x -2 +10 = 12

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 8. Check: 4 -2 is positive.

The two solutions are x=0 and x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do everything in the lines before anything else. -2 becomes a 2 and then you add that with the 12 and divide 12 on both sides to get one.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

1 quarter pound = 0.25 of a pound.

Give that:

Total amount of ground beef =  pound

From 3.5 pound of beef we have to make burgers using 0.25 pound of beef in one burger

We have to find how many burgers can be made:

We have to divide 3.5 pound by 0.25 pound

i.e,

⇒14 quarter pounds burger can be made.

Therefore, 14 quarter pound burgers can George make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef

What is the approximate diagonal distance from one corner of a 3 inch by 5 inch index card to the opposite corner
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

5.83 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The card is a rectangular shaped object, drawing a diagonal from one corner to the other, divides the rectangle into two right angled triangles with the diagonals as the hypothenuse.

Using Pythagoras theorem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Given;

Side a = 3

Side b = 5

Substituting the given values;

c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2

c = √(9+25)

c = √34

c = 5.83 inches
