Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
Subtract the 45 minutes they were eating from 1:45pm since that’s when they arrived. You now have 1:00pm, you now just need to find out how long it is from 10:20 am to 1:00pm. HINT: it’s 2h 40m
For this case what we must do is use the law of cosines.
We then have the following equation:
Where,
a, b: sides of the triangle
x: angle between sides a and b.
Substituting values we have:
Clearing the value of c we have:
Answer:
An expression that is equivalent to how many feet the oak trees are from each other is:
Let C be the number of cats and B be the number of birds.
Each cat has 4 legs while each bird has 2 legs. Thus,
4C + 2B = 22
2B = 22 - 4C
Each cat and each bird has 2 eyes
2C + 2B = 16
Substituting 2B
2C + 22 - 4C = 16
2C = 6
C = 3
2B = 22 - 4(3)
B = 5
2 cats and 5 birds
