Are the equations lxl – 3 = 7 and [x] = 10 equivalent?

They're not equivalent.

|x| (vertical bars) represents the absolute value of x. How it works is that it turns negative numbers positive but leaves 0 and positive numbers alone (hence it gets a number's distance from 0 on the number line).

[x] (square brackets) usually represents the floor function, which returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to x. (The floor of x can also be written as \lfloor x \rfloor --- it depends on what your textbook/source says).

To solve |x| - 3 = 7, you first transform it into the equivalent equation |x| = 10. Then by definition of absolute value, there are only two solutions for the first equation: x = 10 or x = -10.

[x] = 10 has infinitely many solutions. For example, the floor of 10 is 10, so [10] = 10, thus a solution for the second equation is x = 10

The floor of 10.1 is 10, so [10.1] = 10, thus another solution for the second equation is x = 10.1.

The two equations do not have the same solution set (as x = 10.1 does not solve |x| - 3 = 7 but solves [x] = 10), so they're not equivalent.

A student read 3 000 146 as "three thousand one hundred forty-six." how do you explain the students error
Mumz [18]
The digit 3 is in the millions place value, hence it is worth three million, not three thousand.
Therefore, 3,000,146 should be read as three million, one hundred and forty-six, and NOT three thousand, one hundred and forty-six.
Hope this answer helps you! If it did, please mark it as the brainiest! I would really appreciate it! :)

How many numbers are equal to the sum of two odd, one-digit numbers?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Seven numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the numbers, which are equal to the sum of two odd number and it has to be single digit number.

Lets look into numbers which are odd and single digit.

1 = 1+3, 1+5, 1+7, 1+9

∴ Sum of the number is 4,6,8\ and\ 10

3 = 3+5, 3+7, 3+9

∴ Sum of above number is 8,10\ and\ 12

5 = 5+7, 5+9

∴ Sum of above number is 12\ and\ 14

7= 7+9

∴ Sum of above number is 16

Now, accumlating numbers which are fullfiling the criteria, however, making sure no number should get repeated.

∴ Numbers are: 4,6,8,10,12,14\ and\ 16

Hence, there are total 7 numbers, which  are equal to the sum of two odd, one-digit numbers.
