| x + 2 | + 16 = 14....subtract 16 from both sides
| x + 2 | = 14 - 16
| x + 2 | = -2

answer is NO SOLUTION because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number

Given: (a) $2(x+3)=2x+6$ and (b) $4(y-3)=4y-12$ .

To find: The expanded form of the given expressions.

(d) $3(5-q)=15-3q$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(e) $5(2c+1)=10c+5$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(f) $3(2x-5)=6x-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(g) $7(4b-1)=28b-7$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(h) $3(2x+y-5)=3((2x+y)-5)$

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=3(2x+y)-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=6x+3y-15$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(i) $2(6a-4b+3)=2((6a-4b)+3)$

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=2(6a-4b)+6$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=12a-8b+6$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(j) $6(m+n+p)=6((m+n)+p)$

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6(m+n)+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6m+6n+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(k) $y(y+2)=y^2+2y$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(l) $g(g-3)=g^2-3g$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(m) $n(4-n)=4n-n^2$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(n) $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(o) $s(3s-4)=3s^2-4s$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(p) $2x(x+5)=2x^2+10x$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(q) $4y(x-3)=4xy-12y$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(r) $5a(2b-5)=10ab-25a$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(s) $4a(3b+2c)=12ab+8ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(t) $5p(4p-5q)=20p^2-25pq$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

ANYBODY WHO ANSWERS THIS WILL GET 60 POINTS. Male and female high school students reported how many hours they worked each week

Alexxandr [17]

D. The males have a suspected significant high outlier.

The outlier will make the box plot be uneven and this will affect the spread and the center.

I know isn't A, because if anything that would make it more balanced.
I know it isn't B because this would not affect the spread or the center.
I know it isn't C because the question is not asking you to determine the spread and center, just to see if there is anything that would affect them.

I hope this helps!
