Andrei [34K]
If you would like to know how many kilometers did Kelly jog that week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Morgan: 51.2 kilometers
Kelly: Morgan - 6 kilometers = 51.2 - 6 = 45.2 kilometers

The correct result would be 45.2 kilometers.

Which represents the solution to the absolute value equation? 3|2x+4|-1=11
larisa86 [58]
The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:

3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4

so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.

2x+4 = 4

AND

2x+4 = -4

solve both of those two step equations and you'll get

x = 0

AND

x = -4

so 0 and -4 are your solutions.

What is 33 percent of 400
bearhunter [10]

Hi there :)


Answer: 33% of 400 is 132.


I found this answer because I multiplied 400 * 3 which equals 13,200.

then I divide 13,200 by 100 and then you will get your answer of 132.


I hope this helps you if you need any help, feel free to message me.
