|x - 12| = 4 please provide an explanation

Mathematics
1 answer:
geniusboy [140]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: x = 16, x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| > 0, there are two solutions

|a| = 0, there is one solution

|a| < 0, there are no solutions

So, in this problem, we have two solutions.

In absolute value, the expression inside can be equal to itself OR its opposite.

Ex: |y| = y, |y| = -y

So, we can write two equations:

x - 12 = 4, x = 16

-x+12 = 4, x = 8

Check: |16 - 12| = |4| = 4

Check: |8 - 12| = |-4| = 4

Answer:

(13/10)H

got it on khan academy brainliest pls thx uwu

Remember that 30% in fraction form is 33/100

The amount of health points (H) restored would depend on the amount of the current H so it means it would add 30% of the current which we can write as:

(30/100)H

And since it would add that to the current total we can right the current total as:

(100/100)H

So our equation would be

=(30/100)H + (100/100)H

=(130/100)H

=(13/10)H

How do you solve 32 - 6x = 53?
katrin2010 [14]

\large\boxed{x=-\frac{7}{2}}

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

The most important part of this is knowing that whatever we do to one side of the equation, we must also do to the other.

Subtract 32 from both sides of the equation.

\begin{aligned}32-32-6x&=53-32\\-6x&=21\end{aligned}

Divide both sides of the equation by -6.

\begin{aligned}\frac{-6x}{-6}&=\frac{21}{-6}\\x&=\boxed{-\frac{7}{2}}\end{aligned}

Darina [25.2K]
So there is 75 boxes of 12 right? You would figure out how much sticks you have by multiplying then you have to give them to 23 teachers. You take the total of sticks and divide among each teacher 

I hope this helps :)
