The answer could be negative or positive. We are not given specific as to whether or not the starting number is positive or negative so therefore it could be either.
Hope this is helpful :)

<h2>SOLVING</h2>

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{A. What is Asked}}

Billy thinks of a nonzero number. He multiplies it by 3. He gets...? 3 options given

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{This problem has been solved!}}

This problem does not give us the information about the starting number (we can't read Billy's mind).

First, I'm going to assume that the number is positive

\bf{A\;positive\;number\;multiplied\;by\;-3;\;yields\;a\;negative}

Next, I'll assume that Billy's number is a negative one.

\bf{The\;number\;is\;a\;positive\;one}.

\rule{300}{1.7}

\bf{Result:}

              \bf{=The\;answer\;could\;be\;either\;positive\;or\;negative.\;It\;depends\;on\;the\;sign}\\of\:the\:starting\:number.

In 1990, the price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $1.37. In 1998, it was $1.02 per gallon. What is the decrease expressed
mojhsa [17]
The decrease is 35c

Q= X/100 of $1.37 = 0.35

1.37x/100 = 0.35

1.37x = 35 then divide each side by 1.37

Result is 25.5474453 percent, round up to nearest tenth.
Answer is 25%

Y = 5.50x + 21...where x is the number of months and y is the total cost

function notation is basically subbing in f(x) for y

so ur rule in function notation is : f(x) = 5.50x + 21 <==

Solve and graph the inequality |4 – v| &lt; 5.
natali 33 [55]
OK so when you have absolute values it is very useful to think of abs(4 - v) as the distance between 4 and v. Then you can write abs(4-v) < 5 as -5 < 4 - v < 5 This is because the distance between these two points must be in this range. Try writing out a real number line and giving random values to v. You will be able to see how this rule works! Now that we have -5 < 4 - v < 5 we can solve it using basic algebra. We can solve it just like a normal equation but instead of doing an operation on "both sides" we have to do an operation on all three sides :D -5 < 4 - v < 5 -5 -4 < 4 - v - 4 < 5 -4 add - 4 to all three sides -9 <-v <1 simplify -1 * -9 > -1 * -v > -1 * 1 multiply by -1 DONT FORGET TO SWITCH INEQUALITIES 9 > v > -1 -1 < v < 9 now just make sure you show in your number line what numbers v can be. <span>
