|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

A cone with radius 333 units is shown below. Its volume is 575757 cubic units. Find the height of the cone. Use 3.143.143, point
STatiana [176]

Answer: 6.05 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Correct question is:</em>

<em>A cone with radius 3 units is shown below. Its volume is 57 cubic units. Find the height of the cone. Use 3.14 for pi and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.</em>

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cone = 1/3 x π x radius^2 x height

Replacing with the values given:

57 = 1/3x  3.14 x (3)^2 (h)

Solving for h

57 = 1/3 x 3.14 x  9 (h)

57 =9.42h

57/9.42 =h

h= 6.05 units

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
