If they have 24 hours in a day, and use 1/6 of those 24 hours on news, they use 24*(1/6) or 4 hours on news. Assuming that they use the leftover time for just music and entertainment, we have 20h - 4h, so thats 20h. You were right. Not sure on their reasoning either.
The absolute value of -8 is 8 and the absolute value of 5 is 5. Absolute value is basically the number's distance from 0 on a number line, basically how many numbers it is away from 0. For that reason, it's always positive, regardless of whether or not the number is positive or negative. Hope this helped!
3.option a (-8,2)
4.option b (5,4)
Answer:
x=4.5 and y= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5y= -21
-2x+3y= -27
add the two equations: 8y= -48
y=-48/8= -6
sub for y in 2x+5y= -21
2x + 5(-6)=-21, 2x-30= -21
2x= -21+30= 9
x= 9/2=4.5
