Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
Answer:
x = -2 or -9
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the values of x such that the line defined by the two points (2x+3, x+2) and (0, 2) is perpendicular to the line defined by the two points (x+2, -3-3x) and (8, -1).
<h3>Slope</h3>
The slope of a line is given by the slope formula:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the formula, the slopes of the two lines are ...
m1 = (2 -(x+2))/(0 -(2x+3)) = (-x)/(-2x-3) = x/(2x +3)
and
m2 = (-1 -(-3-3x))/(8 -(x+2)) = (2+3x)/(6 -x)
<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>
The slopes of perpendicular lines have product of -1:

<h3>Solutions</h3>
The values of x that satisfy this equation are x = -2 and x = -9. The attached graphs show the lines for each of these cases.
With polynomials the degree is the highest power x or whatever the variable is raised to. In this case, the degree is 3 since the highest power x is raised to is x^3
Answer:
They are on their simplified form.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since these numbers are prime numbers we can't simplify them. But we can change them to decimal.
1/2=0.5
1/3=0.3 (in which 3 repeats itself)

Answer:
- C. Her sister grew about 0.75 inch each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
The function is linear and it represents:
- y - current heigt of baby
- x - number of months passed
- 0.75 - the slope is the monthly growth rate
- 15 - the y-intercept, is the initial height of baby
According the above explanation the correct answer choice is C
